Handy Bross : Expert Whirlpool AC Installation Services in Boston
Maximum Efficiency, Minimum Hassle: Professional Mounting for Whirlpool Units
Whirlpool air conditioners are built like tanks. They are reliable, powerful, and designed to cool large spaces quickly. But that robust build quality comes with a price: Weight. Installing a heavy Whirlpool unit in a window on the third floor of a South Boston triple-decker or a Newton colonial home is not a one-person job. A slip of the hand can damage your window frame, your back, or the unit itself.
Don't let the heavy lifting ruin your summer.
Handy Bross is the premier AC installation team serving the entire Greater Boston area. From Woburn to Framingham, we are experts in the specific mechanical design of Whirlpool air conditioners. Whether you have a compact bedroom unit or a heavy-duty slide-out chassis model, we install it safely, seal it tightly, and ensure it runs vibration-free.
We Master Every Whirlpool Model
Whirlpool units often have unique mounting requirements. We handle them all with technical precision.
1. Slide-Out Chassis Units (Heavy Duty)
Many large Whirlpool models feature a slide-out chassis (the heavy motor slides out of the metal cabinet).
-
The Two-Step Install: Amateurs try to lift the whole unit at once, which is dangerous. Our pros know to remove the chassis, install the lightweight cabinet securely into the window first, and then slide the heavy machinery back in. This ensures a perfect, stress-free seal in your Dorchester or Roxbury home.
-
Structural Support: These units are heavy. We align the cabinet perfectly to prevent the window sash from bowing under the weight.
2. Compact & Energy Star Models
For smaller rooms in Allston or Brighton.
-
Air Sealing: Whirlpool's Energy Star rating only works if the air isn't leaking around the sides. We replace the flimsy factory side curtains with high-density foam or custom Plexiglass to ensure your room stays cool and your electric bill stays low.
3. Units with Supplemental Heat
Whirlpool offers ACs that also heat in the winter.
-
Year-Round Security: If you plan to leave the unit in year-round for heating, we anchor it securely to withstand winter storms in Winthrop or East Boston. We seal drafts meticulously to keep the heat inside.
The Local Advantage: Whirlpool Meets New England Windows
We adapt our installation to the quirks of local architecture.
-
Vinyl Replacement Windows (Waltham & Medford): Vinyl frames can crack under the weight of a heavy Whirlpool AC. We use wood shims to distribute the weight evenly across the sill, protecting your window warranty.
-
Storm Window Obstacles (Jamaica Plain & Roslindale): The bottom lip of a storm window frame often blocks the AC from tilting correctly for drainage. We build a custom wood "lift" to clear the storm window, ensuring condensation drains outside, not onto your floor.
-
Historic Sashes (Beacon Hill): We protect painted-shut or delicate wood sashes with protective tape before installation, ensuring no damage to your historic home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do I need a support bracket for my Whirlpool AC?
A: Whirlpool units are often heavier than other brands. For any unit over 8,000 BTUs, we highly recommend a support bracket to transfer weight to the exterior wall. You can add "Support Bracket Installation" to your booking.
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 with a Whirlpool unit?
A: Yes. Replacing the accordion panels with clear Plexiglass is the best way to improve the look and insulation of your window. Please select "Custom Plexiglass" as an add-on when booking.
Q: My window is very narrow. Will my Whirlpool fit?
A: Whirlpool makes specific "compact" models, but always measure the clear opening width of your window (sash to sash) before buying. If you are unsure, we offer a consultation service.
Q: Do you remove the unit in the fall?
A: Yes. We offer a full removal and winterization service. We take the unit down, clean the sill, and store the unit in your home.
