Hi all,

I recently moved into a 1BR walk-up in New York which comes "equipped"
with a hole/sleeve in the wall for air conditioners.

The hole is 24.5 x 14.5, and I found the idea of putting an AC in there
rather attractive: tucked away, leaving the window space intact, and
probably quite soundproof.

However, I was surprised to see the market's offerings. While window
units are cheap, effective (eer ~11), and come with remote controls,
thru-the-wall units seem to be a few generations behind.

So, my question is: are TTW units really such a bad value, or am I
missing something?
