The Problem with Traditional Window AC Setups
Most people are used to ugly window units or flimsy plastic and cardboard barriers. These setups leak air, provide no real security, and look like a temporary afterthought. Traditional window AC installations offer no U-value, no STC rating, and no real insulation—resulting in poor efficiency and wasted energy.
A Better Way to Install Portable AC
AC Ports replaces the existing window pane with a custom insulated panel that creates a sealed thermal barrier. This eliminates air exchange while improving security and energy efficiency. It’s not a workaround—it’s a clean, permanent upgrade.

AC Ports is an AC retrofit solution for apartments, homes, and commercial spaces.
Instead of expanding or modifying traditional HVAC systems, AC Ports upgrades existing openings with minimal effort.
Compared to traditional HVAC expansion, AC Ports is up to 85% more cost-effective, making it one of the fastest and cleanest ways to add air conditioning.
Avoid Costly Maintenance and Security Risks
Traditional window AC units often cause condensation leaks, allowing water to collect on window sills.
Over time, this leads to:
Mold growth
Window rot
Structural damage
They are also not safe or secure.
Open window units create easy access points for break-ins.
AC Ports creates a sealed, insulated barrier that protects your space and improves long-term durability.
What Our Clients Say:
Roger M
Seattle, WA "Our building didn’t have air conditioning so we were dealing with tenants coming up with their own solutions to vent out their portable air conditioners.
Just about every unit had some kind of different solution. It made our building look trashy and I’m sure it discouraged future tenants from wanting to rent. Budget Mirror & Glass came and installed the AC PORTS and now the building looks beautiful. Everything looks uniform now and it was a great facelift to the exterior of the building"
Samantha St. John
Community ManagerMetro 112 of Simpson Housing
"The team at Budget Mirror & Glass has really made a huge difference for us with the AC port devices they have created and installed in the living rooms of all apartments in our East Tower which does not have central air conditioning. We are able to get these apartments leased faster and the current residents love having the ability to have air conditioning! Because we value their work so much, we will be installing the AC ports in the bedrooms too!"
Pete S.
Olympia, WA"We hired Budget Mirror & Glass to Install AC PORTS on a building that was in high need of cooling down in the summer. The project was a great success. Ed and his crew were fast, efficient, professional, and made quite a few people much more comfortable every summer since. I would use them again and recommend them to others."
Tamara N
Issaquah, WA"I work at an apartment building and we had Budget Mirror & Glass come out and install AC PORTS in our building. They were so nice that we had them come to our home and install several for us. Couldn’t be happier. Looks great and very functional and secure."
Martha L
Seattle, WA "I was so tired of complaints from our tenants regarding the lack of air conditioning in our building. It seems like I would get at least a dozen calls a day.
We called Budget Mirror & Glass and they provided and installed AC WINDOW PORTS in our units and now everybody is cool and happy."
David G
Seattle, WA "We were dealing with overheating issues in our apartment units. We did not have air conditioning in our buildings. Even in the winter when it was 30 degrees outside the inside of the buildings was near 80 degrees!
We called Budget Mirror & Glass INC to come out and evaluate the situation since we heard about their AC PORTS. It was the best phone call we ever made. They came out and installed the new window ports and it instantly fixed our issues.
One of the best investments we have ever made in my opinion.
Happy tenants and happy managers! And they look great too! Thanks Budget Mirror & Glass and AC PORTS."
