In a bizarre story of rescue, a 7-year-old was saved after she fell from a third story apartment building window. The child was reportedly standing on top of the window unit air conditioner when she lost her balance and fell. New York bus driver Steve St. Bernard was there to catch the child before she hit the ground. St. Bernard pulled a muscle in his arm catching the girl, but is expected to recover just fine.

These days, before a structure is ever built, how the air conditioning and heating works is taken closely into consideration and even frequently augments the original design of a building or home. When looking into the design of a city, where buildings stand that were built in the early 20th century, many of these buildings where HVAC systems were an afterthought now contain window units that contribute to not just the building, but also the city's overall design. Many city dwellers take for granted just how much these strictly-utilitarian objects have reshaped the architecture of many cities that refuse to age due to existing buildings that have stood since before the window unit HVAC system was ever developed. Concentrating more on the unintended design of urban scenery, Architecture Lab Online Magazine helps bring out how these machines free of artistic design have actually helped reshape the look of the modern downtown metropolis.

If you've ever walked through crowded metropolis, you will notice the number of window-unit air conditioners perched on window ledges many floors above the city sidewalks. While most all of them are firmly secured in place, there are a few that could stand to have another look by an air conditioner repair professional. For one New York City resident, one close encounter with an air conditioner left him grateful to be alive. As 67-year-old Vietnam War vet Anthony Franzese was lounging in a chair outside his apartment one afternoon, one such loose air conditioner fell from the window of his apartment building, broke through a local wine-bar awning, and struck him. The man reportedly escaped the freak accident with minor injuries, but that didn't keep the owner of the air conditioner from feeling terrible about the incident and offered to watch the man's dog while he recovered.

One concern for those living in apartments or smaller homes that don't allow for room for the ductwork needed for a central air conditioner come the decision of which type of air conditioner to install; a window unit or a ductless air conditioner. While a window unit air conditioner is fairly inexpensive as far as AC's go and more simple to install, it comes with a whole range of other potential problems because of its location being installed in a window. A ductless air conditioner does have many advantages, such as being reliable and efficient, they are typically more costly to install and have a higher initial price tag.
