We NEED air-conditioning

[JustBeenSleeping]

I'm wide awake and have partially stripped off. All the windows are open but there is no air.

I said to DH that we need AC! I don't care that we only get heat for about three days a year. This perimenopausal woman can't cope! Right now I'd be willing to remortgage our house to pay for it 😂

Late uncles house in Italy is the same. Stone built with marble floors and a beautiful marble staircase.

Yes they had a spiral staircase the entrance was beautiful.

Have you tried opening the loft hatch, if you have one? Heat rises, so it can make a massive difference to the temperature upstairs.

Just had gas safety check and engineer actually moaned about us not having a boiler. You cant please every fucker

How often is it 30c at night in the UK?

When you live in a tiny sweatbox in the middle of a block of flats at the top

I live in a flat too 🤷

Those with ceiling fans, can you recommend any particular ones? My DDs room is like a furnace!

I'm one of those annoying people who has aircon installed. In my defence, I had a pet chinchilla that was getting too hot - heatstroke is a killer for the little critters. The portable aircon unit wasn't powerful enough, and I was worried he'd bite the cables (free roam in his room). He died three months after I paid £1,000 for it!
However, I now use it about five times a year, and I wouldn't be without it.

I've got a Dyson fan/purifier thing. In Scotland, so we haven't had the heatwave, but I'm a menopausal woman, and it's got me through many a night. 😰

Just because you’re ok doesn’t mean everyone is.

I'll rephrase my question then. How do you suck in cooler air when it's hot outside. Genuine question.

Maybe we need to create a wormhole or something

Because on a night where I am it's cooler outside at night.

Fantasia fans are excellent with a long guarantee. Make sure you get a big enough one for the room size, read the guide. Mine's over my bed. It's bliss! It is fitted in the ceiling light fitment and has a light too.

Bought two thermometers Its 30c in my living room.

Those of you with split system air conditioning - do you need to have a yearly maintenance appointment? How much does that cost approx?

Where are you? It's nowhere near hot enough for cooling dog mats where I live, which is southern England.

In your opinion. Maybe your house is cooler than mine??

Wasn’t being funny. When I wrote this the temperature were reaching highs of 20 C max in the day. Cooler at night by about 8 deg. I thought you might be in France or Spain, maybe?

Had no idea. Apologies.

Well you did reply a week after my original post, so current temps pretty irrelevant. Not sure why my dog mat usage is questionable really, but whatever.

Can only apologise

A/c unit on today.
