Also: If you can get an AC with a linear compressor, the start-up wattage issue goes away. As their compressed volume is essentially continuously variable, they can start and run with a constant draw and a variable output (ie, the compressor strokes will be shorter until the startup surge is overcome).

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing anything but split units with that tech in them ATM.
