Re: A/C question
Through the wall is more or less a permanent installation through a big square hole in the wall, made especially for the front of the A/C to come through.
The Slider/Casement has to do with your window type. It depends on if you have sliding windows (horizontal or vertical) or casement type (basically other kind that does NOT slide). These A/C's are made to temporarily or permanently go inside your window.
If as you implied, you are feeling some of the heat coming from the case, then you installation is improper.
Do you feel the A/C unit cooling down at all, or just hot air blowing? Yuh details are too sketchy.

Aright hear wah happen. There is a slot inside the wall - kinda like a cave (cut out). The A/C is supposed to be then placed within the slot.
So mi concluding dat a window a/c functions differently from a hole-in-de-wall one.Comment

The hot air was coming from the top and back of the unit. Cool air was coming thru but the hot air cancelled it out.Comment
