  • 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?

  • I live in what is probably a similar property. I'd definitely go portable for the limited number of times you'll use it each year. Also bear in mind that they are big and heavy.

    Don't underestimate how powerful a one you'll need (particularly if you have high ceilings). My 14,000 BTU one can only just get my bedroom (albeit a fairly large 16' x 14') down to 22 deg C currently. You can get more efficient ones but they're not cheap (admittedly none of them are cheap if you want one that will actually do something).

    They're also very noisy, if you're sensitive to noise you won't sleep through it and although they help to get the temperature down it will creep back up when you turn it off.

    That eletriq one is just a freestanding unit that can be fixed to a wall. It doesn't have the benefits of a proper wall unit (moving the gubbins outside so it's quieter).

    I have this (although it was a lot cheaper when I bought it) https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/kyr-45gw-ag-h-mobile-air-conditioning-unit-14000-btu-kyr-45gw
