Mine has enough power to cool the living room and had to when my central unit was down before I replaced it during one hot summer. There are a couple brands that come sealed so that you don't have to use an A/C guy. One is made by "Mr.Cool." I saved a couple grand doing it myself, but you have to be handy. Relatives spent 3-4K for installation.
Thanks for the suggestion but if I tried to do this my favorite wife would wind up looking for a new favorite husband.
