If it's under eaves. if not you might consider some kind of cover so can use in inclement weather.
sure why not
I. Hope so because my window conditioner use to drip but recently has stopped dripping but most likely it is not good if the unit does not drip.
Use baseboard heaters and an air conditioner.
The best way is to read a technical manual under the guidance of a competent Instructor.
If summer utility bills are going through the roof, replacing an old air conditioner with a new, energy efficient unit can save a substantial amount of money. The regulatory guidelines for many appliances, particularly air conditioners, have tightened and the new units use far less energy than the older models. The new SEER ratings (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) require that heat pumps or split air conditioning systems have a minimum SEER rating of 13, which uses 30% less energy than the SEER 10 air conditioners, according to the EPA. New air conditioners are available with SEER ratings up to 18, and as electricity costs rise, replacing the lower rated central air conditioner with new ones will help families turn down the thermostat when the weather is hot, without the attendant sky high electric bill. There may even be tax credits at the state level to offset the cost of buying a more energy efficient unit. Current federal tax credits of 30% will expire on 12/31/10. Not only do the tax credits help families afford better units, they help the environment as well. The EPA estimates that by 2030, the new standard will save tremendous amounts of energy. From 2006 to 2030, they calculate that the power saved using energy efficient air conditioners will equal the annual energy consumption of 26 million households in the US. The implications are many, and possibly the most important is that fewer power plants will need to be built to keep up with increasing energy demands. Although there are no current federal tax credits for window air conditioners, they are an alternative to central air conditioning and cost considerably less to buy and operate than larger air conditioners. Small homes or homes located in climates where the heat and humidity are less intense can often be cooled comfortably using these units. Window units can easily be taken out when not needed, allowing the window to be closed during the cold winter months. Portable air conditioners are also an option, although they are not quite as energy efficient as the window units because their venting systems are not as direct as window air conditioners.
You can move your window air conditioner anywhere you want to put it as long as it sits in the window.
Yep. You get it in there. you can use a central unit if you can get it in there.
you have to cut the window and use glue and duck tape to hold it
A 20 amp breaker might actually be needed for the installation. It depends on the wattage and voltage of the window air conditioner.

Have an air conditioner placed in the window or just use a fan.
Use the air conditioner whose product of votage X amps is the lowest if you want to pay the least to operate.
I suggest that you put your air conditioner on low or use the fan on the air conditioner because it uses less energy. Another thing you could do is take a regular fan and put in the window to get air flow.
My hubby says AC
Central air conditioning systems are designed to provide ventilation by bringing in outside air. Leaving a window open would tend to defeat the cooling effect.
Yes. The compressor in the AC takes a great deal of power.
Yes. In most cars (especially those that have climate control) the Air Conditioner compressor will run periodically, while the heat is on, to dry the air as it comes into the cabin; this prevents the windows from fogging. The A/C Compressor will always run when you have the window defrosters on.
