This installation method is inconvenient and dangerous. The limited balcony space makes it difficult to use tools for drilling, so installers often simply connect the outdoor unit to the indoor air conditioner and place it directly on the balcony without securing it. In windy weather, the outdoor unit may move or tilt, frequently colliding with walls or balcony railings, causing varying degrees of damage and affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning equipment.
