Anybody tried the new window-AC ones? My house has central air but we've a converted attic loft room that's not part of the duct system. I'm tempted to pick up one of those LG window-AC heatpumps that are basically "window AC that can also heat" and see how that goes for year-round climate control. I mean, I'd have to insulate the crap out of its mounting with plywood and foam because normal window-AC mounting is drafty as hell.
Even the indoor ones on wheels are pretty effective. Just cruise it on into the room you wanna cool and put the duct in the window. Fantastic backup plan to keep critical places cool in the hellscape that is Arizona in July.
Not sure specifically what unit your talking about, but the ductless units are typically fixed outside of the house, not usually on the window itself. And then a hole is drilled through the house to provide the cooling/heating to the headless unit inside the room. This also eliminates the need to insulate like crazy around a window unit like you're talking about.
There are also some window units shaped like a "U" so the window can be mostly closed, and you only insulate the small leftover gap.
Yes but I can install a window unit myself.
