I never understoood why nobody makes a windowshaker heater, but I guess you could just install an existing unit in reverse and protect it from rain.

Same with portable air conditioners.

Windows here in Europe don't usually slide. And in Europe we like looking out of them :)

But heat pumps are also available in single units now. They're getting quite popular because they can be self installed (no refrigerant engineer necessary).

I believe there are models of window units with heaters available though they may just be doing resistive heating. I've seen plenty of mini-splits running as heaters obviously using heat pumps and they seem to work quite well.
