Putting an air conditioner INSIDE is defeating the purpose. The heat the
thing throws off will negate any cooling it provides.

What kind of windows are they? If they are jalousy/older windows, Sears has
units that fit those windows as well, although you have to remove one but
I've done it to two bedrooms and they work great.

Space heaters are a difficult breed, there are so many on the market. BOTH
the heater and the ac will eat some electric, the heater more than a window
ac unit.

I am purchasing a house, and there is a sunroom-like room in it. It is
(in my
opinion) more than a regular sunroom, as it is carpeted, has real walls on
it
etc...

anyway, i want to install a window A/C pump on it. However, the windows
are
not the kind that slide up and down, and I would have to take the window
out
and replace it which is a pain for someone who knows nothing about fixing
anything.

my question is, aesthetics aside, can i put a window AC unit inside a
room?
would it harm anything? i know they make portable AC units, but the only
ones
i have seen are 10000 BTW, for 400$, and all i need is a $100 window
5-6000 BTU
system.

finally, the room has a baseboard heat, but i am not sure if it works. if
it
does not, and i can not fix that, how energy efficient are space heaters?
are
there any options to heat that room, other than to stick a duct in?

thanks for all your help!!
