My question is regarding "portable" air conditioners where it vents out the window via a hose that is flush with the window and remains behind the window screen.
Are those allowed? It's not mounted to the window, rather sits on the floor inside the house and does not stick out of the window. You can just see the hose openings behind the window screen.
Thoughts?

I was forced to buy one of the portable units when my central air was out for multiple weeks. Between the one I purchased and the one that was loaned to me by SunKool, my electric bill made a huge jump from $140 to over $200 using the portable units. Add to that the noise factor I found them unacceptable. If you are thinking about cooling your garage with one I wish you luck. Also, if you have plantation shutters like I do, you have to figure out a way to block the sun from coming in the top section of the window, not to mention privacy.
