One of these days I'll be replacing these wall A/C units with mini splits. I had a wall A/C unit at my place in Florida up until 2022 and replaced it with a mini splits and wished I had done it 10 years ago. The splits are quiet and energy efficient. You can place them anywhere you want to because there is no duct work.

By the way, I purchased my Florida mini splits from Costco and they had them installed for me. Best purchase I've ever made!

Did the black screen prevent the nesting or just keep any nesting materials from entering the AC?
