Acinstallationnewyork.com Launches to Match New Yorkers with Qualified Installers
As another record-hot summer scorches the city, a new online platform — www.acinstallationnewyork.com — is launching to help New Yorkers stay cool and safe.
As another record-hot summer scorches the city, a new online platform — www.acinstallationnewyork.com — is launching to help New Yorkers stay cool and safe. Built specifically for the five boroughs, the site connects residents with licensed professionals for code-compliant air conditioner installation, including window AC units, ductless mini split systems, and energy-efficient solutions for year-round heating and cooling.
Each year, over 3,000 AC units are installed in apartments across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, yet many are improperly mounted, posing risks to pedestrians, violating city codes, and risking costly fines. According to the NYC Department of Buildings, installation of window AC units six stories or higher must include a support bracket, a rule that too often goes ignored. The team behind the new platform says its mission is simple: to help city residents install air conditioners correctly, affordably, and in full compliance with NYC laws.
Unlike generic contractor directories, the site doesn't list providers for advertising purposes. Instead, it matches consumers with vetted, licensed technicians based on location, building type, and cooling needs. Residents can access a library of free, NYC-specific content including installation guidelines, bracket regulations per NYC, and side-by-side comparisons of window units, mini split air conditioners, and portable options. This includes advice on BTU sizing, securely installed unit standards, and how to avoid issues with plug type and drainage angle.
'There's no shortage of questions from renters and homeowners when it comes to window AC install projects in New York City,' said a spokesperson for the site. 'Can I install in a fire escape window? What's the proper mount angle? Do I need permission from my co-op board? This platform was built to provide those answers and match people with reliable installers who know the rules.'
With temperatures rising and air conditioning now a public health issue, especially for seniors and low-income residents, the site also tracks air conditioner news, including proposed laws. One pending bill may soon require landlords to provide at least one functioning AC unit during official heatwaves, with daily fines of up to $1,250 for non-compliance. This is particularly pressing in pre-1974 apartments, which make up the bulk of rent-stabilized housing in NYC — and often lack built-in cooling infrastructure.
The platform also helps users avoid common pitfalls. Many city residents unknowingly violate codes by installing window ACs without support brackets, using the wrong outlet, or skipping drain setup — risking water damage, electrocution, or falling units. Articles explain when to hire a certified installer, how to remove and arrange safe disposal of old units, and when to consider upgrading to a mini split air conditioner or Midea U model for quieter, energy-efficient operation.
AC Installation New York connects customers to experts who are familiar with the different brands like Frigidaire, LG, and Midea, and who understand innovations like u-shaped design that allows windows to close tightly, improving insulation and reducing noise. The site's editors note that ductless systems are gaining traction in NYC, especially in buildings that restrict window unit installs. These mini systems are up to 40% more efficient than standard models, with SEER ratings of 20+ compared to 8–12 for most window ACs.
'We've seen strong interest from renters, landlords, and co-op owners alike,' the spokesperson added. 'Especially those who want to be sure their AC installation in NYC is done correctly the first time. Our team spoke with city technicians and reviewed the latest air conditioner installation in NYC standards to build a site that's informative, not promotional.'
Cost transparency is also a focus. In 2025, the average window air conditioner installation in NYC ranges between $138 and $525, with a median of $313. Factors include the type of unit, whether it's a casement window, and whether it's a first-time install or removal/replacement. Many happy customers use the site to learn what to expect before hiring a contractor — with advice informed by local technicians and aggregated reviews on Yelp.
Whether you're upgrading an aging AC unit, researching the best window model for a high-rise apartment, or trying to stay ahead of upcoming building mandates, www.acinstallationnewyork.com serves as a reliable resource for NYC residents who want their air conditioner installed right, safely, and legally.

New trash containers coming to downtown Winnipeg
A garbage can is seen in downtown Winnipeg on August 7, 2025. (CTV News Winnipeg) Winnipeg's mayor wants to clean up downtown – literally. Mayor Scott Gillingham said Thursday a contract has been awarded to install new tamper-proof garbage and recycling receptacles in the neighbourhood. 'They can't be tampered with, they're locked,' he said, 'You can put your trash in or your recycling in, but you can't get anything out. That has to be emptied by crews.' A total of 85 new waste receptacles will replace the current cans, Gillingham said, and he said the new design will help keep trash off city streets. However, he adds Winnipeggers have a part to play in keeping the city clean. 'I think the way our city looks really has a big impact on the way we feel about ourselves,' Gillingham said. 'So I encourage everybody, every property owner, whether it's a private property owner, the city, Winnipeg, the federal government, whoever it may be, I ask you to take care of your property, to clean up. 'If there's garbage on the sidewalk in front of your place, don't wait for someone else to pick it up. Please just take a broom and sweep it up. And the city has to lead the way in doing our part.' Gillingham said the new waste receptacles will be installed in downtown Winnipeg starting in the fall.

Illegal burns, violations still being reported amid Nova Scotia bans
Despite the threat of fines, Nova Scotia crews are stilling chasing illegal burns in the province. The Chief of the North Sydney Volunteer Fire Department was in disbelief after a call his department responded to on Wednesday in a rural area just outside of town. 'We made our way there, and indeed there was a deliberate fire set in the woods,' said Chief Lloyd MacIntosh. 'A person was burning some grass and some brush and debris and things.' MacIntosh said the flames were extinguished and police were notified. While it isn't known if the person who set the fire might face any further consequences, MacIntosh said that in general he is surprised at the number of people not following Nova Scotia's burning ban amid tinder dry forest conditions and the risk of wildfires. 'The province has made it clear,' MacIntosh said. 'It's been on every Facebook page and post. It's been on the radio and TV. I don't understand why people are still burning.' Fire crews for the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) have been dealing with a similar problem. 'In the last two weeks, we have responded to about 50 illegal backyard fires,' said Jenna MacQueen of CBRM Communications. MacQueen said that CBRM fire crews have been stretched thin by responding to unnecessary calls. On Thursday, the municipality announced the closure of all wooded trail systems within CBRM and echoed the Nova Scotia government's threat of a $25,000 fine for violations. 'People know that there's a burn ban in place, and people are not listening,' MacQueen said. 'Really, it's overburdening our system, and we need to make sure that fire are able to respond to calls that are actually needed and people are taking those resources away.' Scott Tingley, manager of forest protection for Nova Scotia's Department of Natural Resources, said no new $25,000 fines have been issued since the province announced the ban on entering the woods on Tuesday. 'There could still be a number of situations that are still being investigated, but the formal fine number is still seven,' Tingley said, referring to the number of fines issued since burning bans first began in May. Tingley added that his department has also been dealing with cases where people are either not following the rules or are unclear about them. 'Reports of smoke that we're following up on, and staff have been responding to a couple of calls each day around the province - and they're varying scenarios,' Tingley said. 'So, there's still some activity out there.' Meanwhile, the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), a right-leaning group, announced on Thursday that they have sent a letter to Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston and Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton arguing that the hiking ban violates peoples' freedoms. In a news release, the CCF added that they have started a petition calling on government to restore access to the woods. Back in North Sydney, MacIntosh has a message for those who have been pushing back against the forest ban. 'This is not going to last forever', he said. 'It will be a month or two or three, at the most. Rain will fall, grass will grow, and things will be better but in the meantime, please be understanding.'
