Does anyone have air con?

[Freedomishereandnow]

I feel like I spend quite a bit every year on fans in every room of the house to keep us all cool. The fans invariably break or we can't find them the next summer so I had a bright idea to invest in a portable air con unit that keeps the house cold (or at least the upstairs) and then can be stored away for the 10 months of the year it isn't needed.

Does anyone have a one they can recommend? It's a lot to spend blindly and I don't know anyone who has one!

All a/c units can heat and cool. 😎 it’s great though to have a back up if your boiler goes in the winter.

We have bedrooms that face West so in summer they are sweltering! DH works unsociable hours and goes to bed at 6pm and struggled to sleep because of the heat. We invested in two portable air con units that were about £300 each.(think they have come down in price a bit now) Worth every penny. The energy bill takes a bit of a hit but it's still worth it.

It’s a Chilly. It’s a few years old now but think it was around £400.

It is not invisible but neither is it offensive, well I don’t find it so.

Yes we have an air source heat pump in part of the house. It is a heating system but works in reverse and is lovely as air con on hot days.

We have a black and decker air conditioner machine thingy. Huge, with a funnel that does outside. Husband uses it for working from home in the summer. I can’t sleep with it on

We have a electriQ AirFlex 14000. We bought it when we had a loft conversion done a couple of years ago. It does a great job, it would be unbearable to sleep without it in the summer.
