Cyclone Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 This few weeks every year when it's actually hot and rather close, I consider investing a few hundred quid in an air conditioning unit for the bedroom, just to make it easier to sleep... It can live in the utility room the rest of the time, and maybe do double duty as a de humidifier. Anyone else think the same, or has actually gone and done it?

aliceBB Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Don't do it. A fan is as much use and far cheaper. Air con is often noisy and leaves you with a headache and dried-out sinuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I agree. Fans are better IMO. I've used fans for most of the year in some very hot countries. You get slightly damp as you sweat, and the air flow chills you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used it last night. It gets the bedroom really cool in a matter of minutes but as been said they are noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I have twelve air conditioning units at Area 51 and a Half™ … they're called 'windows'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Considering a DIY solution. Comprising, 2 x 120mm PC case fans, a cool box or container or bucket, a ton of ice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Considering a DIY solution. Comprising, 2 x 120mm PC case fans, a cool box or container or bucket, a ton of ice.... Better off using 2 x 200mm fans as they spin slower, create a better air flow and are less noisy. But I agree with aliceBB and would go for a 16" oscillating fan which would cost around £15.

Any idea where I can buy them in Sheffield? Anywhere at crystal peaks / drakehouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 UK is not too bad it doesn't get really hot as an island surrounded by relatively cool oceans. Aircon can be intense, it affects skin, stiff body and they are not environmental friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
