Expert Frigidaire AC Installation Services in Boston

Safe, Secure, and Draft-Free Installation for Your Window Unit

Frigidaire is one of the most trusted names in home cooling. Whether you have purchased a compact 5,000 BTU unit for a bedroom in Allston or a heavy-duty 15,000 BTU slider for a living room in Newton, these machines are built to last. However, they are also heavy, awkward to lift, and tricky to install correctly right out of the box.

Don't risk dropping your new investment out the window.

Handy Bross is the premier AC installation team serving the entire Greater Boston area. From Woburn to Framingham, we specialize in the specific installation requirements of Frigidaire units. We handle the heavy lifting, the critical rail assembly, and the weatherproofing, ensuring your unit runs efficiently and stays securely in the window all summer long.

We Master Every Frigidaire Model

Frigidaire offers various models, each with unique mounting challenges. We handle them all.

1. Standard Window-Mounted Units

This is the classic Frigidaire model found in apartments across Somerville and Cambridge.

• Top Rail Assembly: Unlike some brands, Frigidaire units often come with the top mounting rail detached. We securely install this rail with the correct hardware to ensure the unit sits safely in the window sash.

• The "Tilt" Factor: A Frigidaire AC must be tilted slightly backward to allow condensation to drain outside. If installed flat, water will leak into your South End home. We use professional levels to establish the perfect drainage angle.

2. Slider / Casement Window Units

For tall, narrow windows in Back Bay or Beacon Hill, standard units don't fit.

• Vertical Installation: Installing a vertical Frigidaire unit requires a different approach. We secure the unit into the casement track and often build custom blocking to ensure it is airtight and stable.

3. Heavy-Duty & Smart Units (Gallery / Chill Series)

Large units in Waltham or Roslindale homes can weigh over 80 pounds.

• Support Brackets: Relying solely on the window frame for a heavy Frigidaire unit is risky. We highly recommend and install heavy-duty metal support brackets (available as an add-on) to transfer the weight to the exterior wall, protecting your window sash from damage.

4. The Custom Plexiglass Upgrade

Frigidaire's standard "accordion" side panels are often flimsy and let in hot air, street noise, and bugs.

• The Handy Bross Solution: Instead of using the plastic wings, we can measure and cut custom Plexiglass panels for your window. This provides a sleek, invisible look and superior insulation for your home in Seaport or Charlestown.

The Local Advantage: Installing in Boston's Windows

We know the difference between a vinyl replacement window and an original wood sash.

• Historic Windows (North End & Dorchester): Old windows often have painted-shut sashes or narrow tracks. We carefully navigate these obstacles to install your Frigidaire unit without damaging the historic woodwork.

• Storm Windows (Jamaica Plain & Arlington): Many homes have aluminum storm windows that block the AC from sitting flush. We know how to adjust the installation or use wood blocking to clear the storm window lip for a secure fit.

• Safety First (High-Rise & Walk-Ups): Installing an AC on the 3rd floor of a South Boston triple-decker requires focus. We use safety protocols to ensure the unit (and our tools) remain secure throughout the process.

2. The Arrival: We arrive at your home—whether in Hyde Park, Mattapan, or Roxbury—fully equipped.

6. The Seal: We seal the gaps with foam weatherstripping to keep the cool air in.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do you sell Frigidaire air conditioners?

A: No, we are an installation service. You purchase the unit (from Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.), and we professionally install it for you.

Q: Do I need a support bracket for my Frigidaire AC?

A: For units over 8,000 BTUs, we highly recommend it. It protects your window frame and adds a layer of safety. You can select "Support Bracket Installation" as an add-on when booking, and we can provide the hardware for a fee.

Q: Which specific areas do you serve?

A: We cover the entire Greater Boston area. Our service map includes Boston, Newton, Woburn, Waltham, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and Allston.

Q: Can you install Plexiglass instead of the side panels?

A: Yes! This is our most popular upgrade. It looks better and insulates better. Please select "Custom Plexiglass" as an add-on when booking so we bring the necessary materials and cutting tools.

Q: Do you remove the unit in the fall?

A: Yes. We offer a removal service to take the unit out safely, clean the window area, and place the unit in your designated storage spot within your home.
