They do make window shaker heat pumps but I am not sure how big the

You see them in motels, at least that's where I've mostly seen them.
Not exactly a window unit, but through the wall, self-contained.



That is a PTAC. They also make a regular window shaker that has a heat
pump function. My neighbor had one in her "Florida room". It was about
3/4 ton and did a good job on a 350 sq/ft room that was all windows
with a pan roof and zero insulation. It doesn't really get cold here
tho.
