The website Home Air Guides explained this type of system in one of their posts.
"Window air conditioners, unlike central air systems, are cooling devices that service only a specific area of the home. A window unit is effortlessly installed into an existing window frame using its own weight and the window's pane to keep it secure. Depending on the BTUs, the age of the unit, and the insulation quality of the home it's installed in, a good window air conditioner can cool a fairly large room in a rather short amount of time. These types of temperature control machines are far more affordable than the average whole-house cooling system."

"Always measure the window area before shopping for an air conditioner. Consider the impact of losing a portion of the viewing area, as well as how you'll fill the rest of the window panel after inserting the air conditioner. Some use wood to block the rest of the pane, but a plastic panel may suffice and look better. When installing a wall unit, the installation may include a certain amount of building supplies and care should be taken to reduce hazards and avoid cutting into electrical or other wires.
