Maybe, but they cost a lot less, with no ducts or concrete pads or
plumbing
or special electrical wiring, and low-cost Chinese and Korean labor, vs
local HVAC criminals. At $69 for 5340 Btu/h at 10.2 EER (Daewoo), a 3-ton
system is $69x36K/5340 = $465.17. And if one breaks, the rest keep
working.


The downside to window shakers-

1) Security...Your home is easily accessed if the burglar simply removes the
unit.

Bull****. Pulling a unit FROM THE OUTSIDE is a LOT harder
than just breaking a window or kicking in a door.

2) Noise...Why do you think they are called "window shakers"?

Mere derogation. They can in fact be very VERY quiet.

3) Convenience...Twice a year you'll be humpin' those suckers in and out.

And on your birthday ? But seriously - no need for that at
all. A simple winter cover works just fine.


4) Money...I don't make any money from window shakers.

Oh well.




How about if they're mounted in the wall?
