Fw: Just bought a A/C from B&Q for £98

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you got any hysteresis in the temperature control btw? Those units=20
don't like being turned on an off frequently...


Yes, you're right - I need to put a control trigger in there so it
doesnt=20
turn back on say for 30 mins...

Or something like that - needs some thought

Have you tried playing with the right hand dial...?

Unless the run is very short, you can gain a fair bit in performance by=20
insulating the ducting (I have a couple of layers of bubble wrap around=20
mine!)
