The unit has security bars on all windows, which is great.  These security bars are straight and flat.  I.E. they are not the kind that have a bump out to accomodate an air conditioning unit.  Thus causing my delima. How do I install a traditional window air conditioning unit into the window?  The space between the bars and the window is very minimal&#8230;definitly not enought to fit the window unit I currenlty own.  Are there very narrow window AC units made for this purpose?  Or is there a way to install a standard AC unit in such a way that the majority of the bulk of the unit would lie on the interior side of the window?  I have heard about portable air conditioner units which do not sit in your window, but I have heard they are much less effective at cooling than a Window unit.  Plus they are SUPER expensive by comparison. Any help or suggestions are much needed and sincerely appreciated! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so I am moving into a ground level unit of a Brownstone\/Townhome in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
