We have an old “window AC” unit that the previous owners of our home installed directly into the wall and it’s unfortunately having some issues. It’s not a simple job to just remove it - it looks like it was DIY’ed a bit and it’s basically glued / caulked in. There are literally no supports or screws to remove it. If it can just be repaired, we’d be fine with that, but ultimately it may need to be replaced. What do you think is the right business to call for this type work? Maybe a handyman? When we had to install a bathroom fan/vent that didn’t have one, it blew my mind that none of the hvac companies would do it - but an electrician was the right way to go. So just wondering where to start with this AC unit.

Summary
The post is about a wall-installed window AC unit and who should repair or remove it, not about window replacement or window options.
Reasoning
This is a home repair question, but it focuses on an old through-wall AC unit that may need repair or replacement and asks what type of contractor to call. It does not mention window problems, window replacement, or comparing window products, so relevance to a window replacement service is low.
