    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

This information is useful for various purposes, such as designing and fitting curtains or blinds, ordering custom-sized window treatments, or ensuring that furniture or other objects will fit properly within the window space.

    When do you remove the actual A/C from the case, if required?

    • On the truck.

    • At the Warehouse.

    • After installing it into the window.

    • Prior to installing it into the window, at the home.

    Correct Answer
    A. Prior to installing it into the window, at the home.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Prior to installing it into the window, at the home." This means that the actual A/C should be removed from the case before it is installed into the window, and this should be done at the home where it will be installed. Removing the A/C from the case allows for easier installation and ensures that the unit fits properly into the window.

    • Caulk

    • Puddy

    • Nothing. It’s ok to leave gaps.

    A. Caulk
    Explanation
    Caulk is commonly used to seal any gaps. It is a flexible material that can be applied to fill and seal cracks, gaps, and joints in various surfaces such as walls, windows, and doors. Caulk helps to prevent air and water leakage, improves insulation, and enhances the overall appearance of the area. It is a durable and long-lasting solution for sealing gaps, making it the correct answer in this context.

    Using only the approved/correct fasteners is important.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Using only the approved/correct fasteners is important because using incorrect or substandard fasteners can compromise the integrity and safety of a structure or equipment. Approved fasteners are specifically designed and tested to meet certain standards and specifications, ensuring they have the necessary strength and durability to hold components together securely. Using incorrect fasteners can lead to loosening, failure, or even catastrophic accidents. Therefore, it is crucial to always use the approved fasteners recommended by manufacturers or engineering specifications to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure or equipment.

    Prior to pulling the flaps to the side of the window, you should ensure the case is “centered”?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Before pulling the flaps to the side of the window, it is important to ensure that the case is "centered". This means that the case should be positioned in the middle or balanced before proceeding with pulling the flaps. This is important for maintaining stability and preventing any potential damage or accidents that may occur if the case is not properly centered.

    It is ok to use an extension cord to run electricity to the unit?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using an extension cord to run electricity to a unit is not recommended. Extension cords are designed for temporary use and should not be used as a permanent solution. They can overheat and cause a fire hazard if not used properly. It is always best to have a dedicated electrical outlet installed by a professional to ensure safe and reliable power supply to the unit.

    The edges of the A/C are:

    • Dull

    • Sharp

    • Curved

    • Flat

    Correct Answer
    A. Sharp
    Explanation
    The edges of the A/C are sharp. This means that the edges of the A/C unit have a pointed or keen edge, which could potentially cause injury if not handled carefully.

    Ensuring the A/C has a filter is the home owner's job.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "False" is that ensuring the A/C has a filter is not solely the homeowner's job. While it is important for homeowners to regularly check and change the filter, it is also the responsibility of HVAC professionals to inspect and maintain the A/C system, including the filter. Additionally, some rental agreements or home maintenance contracts may assign the task of filter maintenance to the landlord or a third-party service provider. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that it is solely the homeowner's job to ensure the A/C has a filter.

    Once you have installed the AC unit in the customer's home, ensure the unit has a half bubble tilt in the back to allow for proper drainage.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that after installing the AC unit in a customer's home, it is important to ensure that the unit has a slight tilt in the back. This tilt is necessary to allow for proper drainage of any condensation that may accumulate within the unit. Without this tilt, the condensation may not drain properly and could potentially cause damage to the unit or the surrounding area. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What kind of screw should you use to install the A/C into the window?

    • It depends on the window type.

    • Wood Screw

    • Self tapping screw

    • Dry Wall Screw

    Correct Answer
    A. It depends on the window type.
    Explanation
    The type of screw needed to install the A/C into the window depends on the window type. Different windows may require different screws based on their material and design. Using the wrong type of screw could result in an improper installation and potential damage to the window or A/C unit. Therefore, it is important to consider the window type and consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek professional advice to determine the appropriate screw for installation.
