I'm confused in your description of your central air.."radiators, so the central AC unit laying on it's side in the pointy sloping area under the roof, with flexible duct work only serving the 2nd and 3rd floors. ???
Why is a central ac "laying on its side" ? Is it attached to the wall way up there under the eaves of the pointy roof? Where are these flexible ducts? insidethe house, on the outside.. Maybe it's just me but it makes no sense LOL | ||

Pete...
in some homes, there are a supplemental units, either Air, Heat, or both.... more or less to separate zones, as a main floor, and second or third floor....each on their own thermostat....as you notice outside you may see several condenser units... I seen many hommes where there is baseboard heat, and these units in place for cooling only.....I rather have the option of both... whether in an attic, or under a house in a crawl space, there are units designed for horizonal applications...some are even suspended....and of course these spider maze of tubing to supply conditioned air to each location... there would also be a huge drip pan underneath these units, just in case of a leak... there are also water heaters available for horizontal installs as well.... | ||

Is your window unit 120 or 240 volts? Does it cool several rooms or just one? Somewhere behind the grill, you should be able to find a tag with the specs on it. Congratulations on having a back up appliance. | ||
