$300? Must be a two-room house.

It's a one-story /two bedroom house.
One unit in each bedroom,
one unit in the living room

They're $100 6000(?) btu units. ( prices keep dropping )

$3000 wouldn't get you a very good quality central hvac system
either.

Who knows what's a "good" price ??

That describes our house. 24000btu (220v) unit in DR and a 5000btu (110v) in
master BR. About $550 for both. If we need to cool both BRs we run both
units other wise just the small one at night. Keeps the house frosty with
the help of a couple small floor fans. Don't know if it's cheaper than
central cause we've never had it. Been waiting 18 years for the antique
furnace to crap out and install central on a new one but it keeps firing up
every fall.
