You can actually get tankless water heaters that are very localized; some friends of mine are getting their kitchen remodeled (courtesy of busted pipes upstairs in the winter), and are putting in a tankless unit behind the sink, but I believe the idea is to run it to the dishwasher as well.
So...how big is the inside air handler? Where does it sit? Equiv of a box fan, or mini fridge, or what?
A lot of houses at least in my part of the country built post-1970s assume central A/C ducted everywhere, and so the layout tends to be very open, not allowing for easy closing off of parts of the house. When you have one room that tends towards the warm (like, say the room housing all of the computers), you start thinking about window units. But those also are ugly and not always doable if the window isn't convenient.
