If it works for cooling there's no reason it wouldn't work for heating. If they need to stand in the air path for cooling they will need to stand in the air path for heat

Yeah but the ∆T between cooling and heating is way different.

Here in MA, we cool as much as Outdoor - 30F, but we often heat Outdoor + 50F. Sometimes more. Drafts introduced by a poor seal (which is often the case with window units) would be a big deal, no?
