Project Ideas
Business
Custom Window AC Install & Sealing
Offer a white-glove installation service that fabricates insulated, precision-fit window inserts with security brackets, insect/weather seals, and sound-dampening gaskets. Optimize louver direction, place the Follow Me remote for accurate control, and set ECO/Sleep schedules. Include a seasonal maintenance plan (filter washes, re-sealing) to maximize the unit’s 15 CEER efficiency and minimize the 53 dB noise footprint.
Short-Term Cooling & Drying Rentals
Rent inverter window units for pop-ups, events, and post-renovation dehumidification. Provide quick-fit window kits, delivery/installation, and pickup. Use the 24-hour timer to align cooling with event hours and Dry mode for rapid moisture removal in newly painted or flooded spaces. Upsell energy-saver settings and optional damage waiver.
Vacation Rental Comfort Upgrade
A turnkey package for Airbnb/short-stay hosts: supply and install the unit, position the remote as a room thermostat to prevent hot/cold spots, set ECO and Sleep programs, and provide laminated instructions for guests. Offer mid-season filter cleaning and off-season removal/storage. Market it as an Energy Star comfort guarantee to boost listing ratings.
Closet/Server Niche Cooling Retrofits
Specialize in converting hot closets into safe AV/server niches by adding a sealed exterior window insert for the AC, airflow baffles for even distribution, and reliable condensate routing. Place sensors for temp/RH logging and leverage auto-restart for resilience. Sell monitoring as a monthly add-on for small offices and home power users.
Student Summer Subscription
Deliver, install, and maintain a 12,000 BTU inverter unit from May–September for urban renters and students; then uninstall and store it off-season. Include basic service (filter cleaning, seal checks), a low-noise setup, and energy-optimized presets. Offer a buyout option or annual renewal at a discount to reduce churn.
Creative
Modular Insulated Window Insert
Build a reusable, precision-cut insulated window panel that the AC slides into for tool-free installs and moves. Include weatherstripping, quick-latch brackets, and a vibration-isolated shelf to cut noise. Add a dedicated slot or wall hook for the Follow Me remote so the thermostat reads where you actually sit, not at the window. Finish the panel with decorative veneer or paint for a clean, built-in look, and leave easy access to the washable filter.
Fermentation & Proofing Alcove
Partition a corner of a room with insulated curtains or panels and mount the unit in the window to create a temperature-stable zone for sourdough, homebrewing, or cheese aging. Use the Follow Me remote inside the alcove, set Cool or Dry mode to hold 55–68°F and keep humidity in check, and use the 24-hour timer for step fermentations. Incorporate a small circulation fan for even temps and a drip-safe tray under the unit for condensate peace-of-mind.
Climate-Controlled Art/Resin Studio
Convert a spare room into a stable environment for resin casting, painting, and filament drying. Run Dry mode to keep RH low for better cures, and direct airflow with the adjustable louvers across a curing rack while avoiding dust kicks. Add a simple filter plenum in front of the intake, use Sleep/ECO for overnight cycles, and rely on auto-restart to recover after power blips. The washable filter helps keep particulates down.
Mushroom Fruiting Tent Cooler
Mount the AC in a sealed window panel and duct a portion of its cool, dry air into a nearby grow tent to tame summer heat. Place the Follow Me remote inside the tent for accurate readings, and balance RH by pairing with a humidifier. FlashCool helps blunt midday spikes, and the timer can stage cooling around your fruiting schedule. Ensure condensate drains properly and that hot-side exhaust remains fully outside.
Quiet Reading Nook Airflow Diffuser
Craft a wooden louvered diffuser that sits a few inches in front of the unit to spread airflow gently across a reading area, reducing drafts and perceived noise. Shape the slats to create a soft, upward wash of air; use felt-lined contact points to prevent vibration. Add an LED backlight behind the diffuser for ambiance, and let Sleep mode maintain comfort during late-night sessions.
