I know it is now 120 volt on the balcony.

Hmm... I was looking at the 9CQ he

I see 115 volt. But that isn't the unit that gets the 30% tax credit. That
is the 9RL he

Which is 230 volt. And it appears that the supply voltage for the inside
unit is fed from the outside unit. And not just a low voltage wire. So a
bigger hole. Walls in her apartment building are poured concrete or
concrete block. Running 230 out there would be a major problem.

Can you get 230 to the inside unit, maybe through the attic?
When they installed mine, the raceway we took to the outside unit also
brought the wires back to the inside unit. I fed it from a J box in
the middle but it could have been fed from the inside unit just as
easy.

Nope. This is an apartment building. There are apartments all around her.

A little background. When the building was build in about the 1960s they
put in through the wall air conditioners. They sized them generously. The
apartment was originally a one bedroom. The three through the walls were in
the bedroom, in the kitchen, and in the living room. Somewhere along the
way the living room was chopped into a small bedroom with the windows, and
a large windowless living room. That room can't now be cooled. The other
rooms are cold and clammy if the a/c is used. I can't get the sizes out of
her for the through the wall units. It was hard enough to get her to
calculate the BTUs needed for the living room. But we are assuming that the
size of those units is pretty fixed by the sleeve size.
