That's my Plan B.
I keep a 5K window unit installed year round. Runs off 110v and just plugs into a regular outlet.
Not very expensive at all (
Home Depot for $169)
Not very noisy at all like the older ones were when I grew up in the 60's. Comes in very handy when your central system goes out.
I have it running right now even though my central system is working, just to reduce the load of my central system, and hopefully extend it's lifespan.
And if we get an extended power outage from a hurricane I can run it off my portable generator.
