I have two heat pump window air conditioners installed in my apartment, with cooling, heating and resistance electrical heating: https://www.frigidaire.com/Home-Comfort/Air-Conditioning/Win.... The problem is that the tech is so poorly advertised, that I had to double-check the specs on manufacturer's website that this model was, in fact, a heat pump. Most people don't know that heat pump window units already are an option.
I'd love for NYC to mandate that ACs must function as heat pumps: the additional parts are cheap, and as America's largest market for window AC units, the NYC market would force competition for much cheaper heat pump window units.
