Easy to do. TURN OFF THE POWER. Remove the cover plate. Unscrew the
receptacle and pull it out gently. Take off the wires and put them on the
new receptacle the same way. Gently push it back in the box, tighten the
screws, replace the cover.

If you were trying this unit in so many outlets, you must have been using an
extension cord. That is a bad idea for a window a/c of that size. Unless
you have one of those SERIOUS guage extension cords ($$), then that may be
the cause of your buzzing. You are on the verge of an electical overload or
a fire.

Beyond that, what they others have said is right. You need to get an
electrician to install an isolated circuit for this a/c.

Yea.. the extension cord that im using is orange and is like 50 feet and

thick so im guess its the proper one.

Im trying to find a way to replace the outlet w/o an electrician cause

it would cost alot.
