when I lived in the states I had proper air con houses, big air con units in each room, like a bigger version of a storage heater hereOriginally posted by d000hg View PostLayout of our old house means our bedroom gets full sun during the summer... rest of the house is always cool but neither of us can sleep when it's stifling.
Proper portable A/C units cost half a monkey and I wouldn't want to install a permanent unit ideally. Then there's these water-cooling things (https://www.toolstation.com/air-cool...control/p78965) but I'm dubious especially at the idea of having to load them with ice every night.
For the lower-tier contractors who don't have a butler to fan them all night, have you used any of these things?
though they are always too noisy for me, so I would switch it off in the room I was in and switch it back on as I left the room, and move around the rooms often enough to be kept cool, at night I would sometimes swap bedrooms for same reason
