Domestic white dustbin thing from b and q.

Have to say I had t appreciated just how much heat needs to be vented outside. I have the vent pipe hanging out the window but the pipe itself gets do hot it's countering the cooling coming out of the machine


Bollards  I'm going to have to vent it out through the wall to the airing cupboard and up though the ceiling to the bathroom fan ducting I think. Another bloody job. Probably be completed the day winter arrives in a fortnight a time...

[chrisgixer]

Oh no wait, the water tank is in the way. Arse

Yes I was thinking along those lines earlier. Tbh. And at that price I may as well have done. Only slight issues is installation, as it's a first floor bedroom and would have to be installed down the side of the house above the ally way at height.

Nah, our house gets very warm up stairs. No radiators are ever on upstairs, yet downstairs is cold and up saris is sweltering in winter. In summer it's really not nice.

Lagging the water tank has helped. As has new boiler and thermostatic rad valves, in winter. In summer there's on a sultry night like last night and tonight no doubt, it needs cooling properly.

She moans about a cool bedroom, but is guaranteed to be too hot after an hour if it's warm to start with.

I left the upstairs windows open last night and, thankfully, there was a bit of a breeze. Just about bearable.

On mine, when its near window, the pipe almost immediately goes behind curtain (thick, with blackout linings), so the heat stays out.

Chiller already on

But it is not an Air Conditioner, is it? tis just a cooler, very different device. Portable air conditioners have lump of equipment that must be put outside. Cant quite remember the technical speek, tis a long time since I worked for Andrews Heat For Hire............. they also did AC.............
