So long as the "outside" temp is in the 40-50 F range, this would work well. Why modify? Just get the new fan and put the unit in "backwards".

Yes, moving the thermostat into your office and that is easy . . . .

I say DO IT!!

As for why window unit heat pumps costing more, it is all about volume. I bet the ratio of window AC units to window heat pumps is 100 : 1 (or more).

Let us know how it works out for you. I bet you are pleasantly surprised.
