electronics don't mind the cold. they don't love heat but they have over-temp protection for the heat. what they really don't like is wet and damp so that would be my number one concern.

free standing AC is a bit of a debatable issue... a 2-duct system that both draws air in from and exhausts air out to the outside is alright

1 duct for exhaust only will cause a negative pressure in the room drawing air in from outside which is... not efficient.. but technically it'll cool the room.

0 ducts is just nonsense imo because the thing has a hot side and a cold side and the hot side beats the cold side :D

Thanks, yeah the ones I was looking at have 1 duct to the window

I'm mostly worried about it getting too hot at night and burning down lol

i think you'll be safe regarding burning down regardless.... as long as you haven't imported any sketchy electronics from china lol :D

worst case scenario for good quality electronics is they shut down for a while.
