I had an AC unit in my house a few years ago. Sounds like a similar design with exhaust pipe that doesn't reach a window. My solution was to knock a bloody big hole in the wall at the unit level and pipe it out that way.
It did reduce the temperature, a bit, but the unit was fucking noisy. Given it was bought to allow for decent sleep on hot nights you then had to cope with the sound of an airplane trying to take off.
Basically the domestic appliances you can buy in the UK are shit, and if I was going to bother again I'd spend proper money for a professional installation of something not shit.
Yeah they're hella-noisy but you get used to it. In the states where it used to sit at 107f for two months solid you had no choice really.
They are shit here. Really, stupidly shit. Out in the states for about $170 you can get a proper GE (General Electric) window unit with all of the fittings. And they piss on the crap here.
