I have a double horizontally sliding window (like a lot of homes in Canada). The windows are about 51/2 inches apart. I want to install a regular 10,000 BTU air conditioner in the window but I don't know how. Can anyone help me?

Google installing window a/c in horizontal sliding window and look at videos. E.g., youtube.com/watch?v=hGUH4PguUQM – Jim Stewart Jun 12 '17 at 18:16
I assume you mean 5.5in (normally written 5 1/2"). That's too narrow for any window unit. You should get a portable in-room air conditioner, where the machinery sits inside your home and you just have exhaust hoses that need to vent to outside through your window.

This will tend to draw warm air into your house, unless you also run a pipe for the condenser inlet. – Harper - Reinstate Monica Jun 12 '17 at 20:54
