  • Talk to me about air conditioning units (predictably), I live in a 1910 victorian semi-detached and want a way of cooling my bedroom. I think my options are a mobile unit with a pipe out the window or a more traditional fixed unit with internally/externally mounted units. Are there any other options?

    Can something built after Queen Victoria was dead be described as Victorian?

    Not that I know of. There are split units that can be DIY installed but they mostly require a professional to gas it. They are a lot more efficient than portable units but obviously a lot more effort to install and fairly ugly. A good split unit can also heat your room which is handy for a portion of the year.

    I suppose you could have some sort of central air system with a blower/chiller somewhere else in the house but I don't fancy your chances of fitting that to an older property.

    1910 would be Edwardian.
