Stab backs are bad. One of my Dad's buddies told me about those a long time ago, I remembered it well.
14 AWG 15 amp circuits. 12 AWG 20 amp circuits. 10 AWG 30 amp circuits.

Do not know if previous owners used an air condition there or not.

There are higher quality receptacles that use a pressure plate that the installer has to tighten VS the push and pray/ backstab, newer receptacles with the backstab option only accept 14 AWG wire, but if you live in a apartment or tract home they only use the cheapest materials.

Only ones better are Hubbell, or Leviton, hospital grade receptacles, but the better ones are $10-20 each, cheaper hospital grade receptacles are available but they don't hold up, in healthcare receptacles require yearly tension tests, in order to pass, they must have a minimum of 4 ounces of tension, the failure is always of the grounding slots, not of the neutral or hot slots, plus a polarity test & visual check, and documenting the test, a PITA.

My new window AC unit is working great. I'm sure the local REA likes me even more now.

I believe that I saw somewhere that if you tighten down the side screws on back stabbed outlets it tightens against the back stabbed wire. I have a circuit that I just pulled out that that was working intermittently that I need to shut the breaker and see if this is true.
