Window AC & Portable AC Installation in Potrero Hill 94107, San Francisco

The custom-cut acrylic for the portable AC hose is brilliant. It looks ten times better than the cheap plastic sliders that come in the box, especially on Victorian bay windows.

They handled the 120-year-old lath and plaster walls with extreme care. I was worried about cracking, but they used a method that required absolutely no drilling.

Our old-growth redwood frames are so fragile, I was terrified of anyone drilling into the exterior sills. Found these guys online because they specialize in no-drill installations. They used a casement bracket that just clamps on. Super secure and no damage to my 19th-century Italianate Victorian.

I didn't think anyone could get an 80lb AC up Rhode Island Street without complaining, but these guys are pros. The motorized hand truck is the real deal.

The tech was 15 mins late because parking near 18th Street Commercial Corridor is always a disaster, but I can't blame him. Once he got here, he assessed my old 15-amp knob-and-tube wiring before plugging in the high-BTU portable unit to make sure it wouldn't trip the circuit. Appreciate the caution.

sunniest neighborhood means my place bakes. they got my 14k btu portable unit vented through a tricky wavy glass window perfectly.

fast, clean, and polite. the portable ac venting looks really professional with the custom acrylic.

Potrero Hill gets too much sun to survive without AC nowadays. My old knob-and-tube electrical circuits were a concern, but the tech tested the load and recommended a specific portable unit that wouldn't blow the fuses. Lifesaver.

no holes in my 120 year old plaster walls! totally worth the price.

As a renter in an Italianate Victorian, I couldn't drill into the walls. The no-drill installation saved my summer. The south-facing sun in Potrero is no joke.

solid work. the no-drill bracket is genius for renters who don't want to lose their deposit over wall damage.

quick and easy. they cut a custom acrylic plexiglass sheet to seal the portable AC hose into my weirdly shaped wavy glass bay window near McKinley Square. Looks clean.

Very professional. Kept the workspace clean, respected the historic facade rules of our building, and clearly explained how the non-penetrating bracket supports the 80lb unit without damaging the stucco.

Our corrugated-steel loft gets incredibly hot. The tech fabricated a venting solution for our industrial windows that actually works. Highly recommend.

They installed a window AC in our mid-century modern stucco box. The bracket sits perfectly on the sill without any drilling. Very clean look from the street.

I’ve tried installing ACs before and almost dropped one out the window onto the sidewalk. Never again. The guy they sent was a pro. He navigated my steep exterior stairs with a motorized hand truck like it was nothing.

great communication. showed up on time despite the awful parking near 18th st. installed my window unit fast.

I live in one of those corrugated-steel industrial lofts down the hill. Our windows don't open normally, so getting a portable unit vented was a nightmare. The team knew exactly how to handle loft windows and custom-cut a seal. Finally, I can sleep without sweating through the sheets.

Steep hills and heavy lifting don't mix. The motorized stair climber they used to get the AC up our 22% grade hill was impressive.

did exactly what they promised. no drilling into the old redwood frames, up the steep stairs with a motorized truck, and done in an hour.

The installer checked our 15-amp circuits before turning on the high-BTU unit, preventing a potential blackout in our flat. Really appreciate the attention to detail.

excellent service, no drilling, no HOA fines. exactly what i needed for my italianate victorian.

Since Potrero is the sunniest neighborhood in SF, my apartment gets up to 85 degrees inside. The portable AC setup was quick, and they made sure the plexiglass seal didn't look ugly from the outside.

Parking near McKinley Square was tough so he had to walk a bit with the gear, but the install of the custom plexiglass sheet was flawless.

man they saved me. hauling a giant window ac up the 22% grade on foot was impossible for me. they had all the right gear and got it installed securely before noon.

HOA approved the casement window saddle bracket without any issues. It preserves the historical facade completely.

Our HOA is notoriously strict about modifying the exterior facade. The casement window saddle brackets they used were completely compliant. Not a single screw went into the outside wood.

Potrero Hill sun is intense. We needed a heavy-duty unit. The tech made sure our old electrical system could handle it and set up a secure, HOA-friendly casement bracket.

Potrero is definitely the sunniest neighborhood in SF, which is great until August when my south-facing Victorian turns into a literal oven. I was worried about putting a bracket into the 120-year-old lath and plaster walls because of strict HOA preservation rules. The tech used these non-penetrating saddle brackets. Zero drilling. The HOA inspector had nothing to complain about!

My historic home near McKinley Square has very fragile old-growth redwood frames. The installer assured me the non-penetrating bracket would be safe, and he was right. Very sturdy and no damage.

South-facing condo in Potrero bakes all afternoon. We got a portable AC, but the standard plastic vent kit didn't fit our tall windows. The installer fabricated a custom plexiglass insert right on the spot. It looks seamless from the street.

I live in a mid-century modern stucco box on a 22% grade hill. The tech had this cool stair-climbing hand truck that made bringing the unit up look easy. Very professional.

We are an older couple living near the 18th Street Commercial Corridor and simply cannot lift heavy appliances. The young man who came was polite, efficient, and used a saddle bracket that didn't harm our rotting old-growth redwood sills.

Our flat on Rhode Island Street requires climbing a ridiculous exterior staircase. The technician was incredibly careful not to damage the narrow historic stairwells with the bulky AC unit.

Living right off Rhode Island Street means my stairs are basically a cliff. I bought this massive 12,000 BTU window AC and immediately realized I couldn't carry the 80lb box up the 40-step exterior staircase myself. These guys showed up with some motorized stair-climbing hand truck and got it up without a single scratch on our narrow historic stairwell. Incredible service.

Knob-and-tube wiring is a nightmare when trying to run high-BTU units. The technician was very knowledgeable about SF's ancient electrical systems and helped me set it up safely.

They managed to carry a heavy window unit up our 40-step exterior staircase without scratching the narrow historic walls. That alone deserves five stars.

I bought a dual-hose portable AC, but the exhaust panel was too short for my massive loft windows. They made a custom acrylic sheet that fits perfectly. No hot air leaking back in!

The custom-cut acrylic plexiglass for my wavy glass bay window was a game changer. The standard plastic kit let in so much bugs and warm air. This seal is completely airtight.

Good job overall. They were very careful not to scratch the narrow historic stairwells when bringing the unit up to my flat near McKinley Square.

Those 40-step exterior staircases built into the hillsides are brutal. I tipped the installer extra just for carrying that heavy box up here. The install itself was flawless.

I was skeptical about a no-drill bracket supporting 80lbs, but it's rock solid. My rotting exterior window sills weren't touched.

Zero damage to my old lath and plaster walls! I was worried because our place off 18th St is a rental and the landlord is super strict. The no-drill window setup is exactly what was promised. Worth every penny.

Living right near McKinley Square has amazing views but our south-facing apartment is basically a greenhouse by 3 PM. We couldn't drill into the 100-year-old exterior trim per our HOA rules. The crew used some custom acrylic and saddle brackets for our casement windows. Flawless install, and they hauled that 80lb beast up three flights of narrow stairs like it was nothing.

The 15-amp knob-and-tube wiring in our Potrero Hill Victorian always makes me nervous. I needed cooling but was terrified of tripping the whole house. They assessed the electrical first and then set up a highly efficient portable unit right off Rhode Island St. Very professional.
