Yes Phil, but as usual you usually get what you pay for.

 

The best solution is a split system, that is, that the cooling unit (evaporator) is inside and the condenser is mounted outside on an exterior wall giving the cooling outside with all the heat being pumped outside. Mobile units work in exactly the same way but they get hot due to the fact that both elements are in the same place. The smart way to use a portable is put it in a cupboard and vent it out to the room you want to cool and vent the exhaust to the basement or exterior.

Hi all,

 

After yesterday's TV discussion turned into an AirCon discussion, I wondered if anyone out there has experience of portable AirCon units, do they work well?

 

Reason for my question, apart from the indicated 39C in the room that I'm in, is that I looked into AirCon some time ago, the postings I read on deja pooh-poohed portable units as being not worth the money and didn't drop the temperature by more than 1-2C.

 

I can't stretch to having a system fitted into my loft, but a portable unit seems appealing just now, anyone had any success stories with these?

 

Cheers!

- Phil
