16 days in a row of 28+ Degrees apparently.

The weather forecast showers in my area today but; I'll believe it when I see it.

Yup dropped to 24 here. Had a fair night's sleep. Not great but better any way. Not even got the fan on this morning.

Back in work has made a difference, air con is a lifesaver, I'm less grumpy now.

Yesterday seemed to be a little milder so I managed to get a few things down around the house finally, but this morning I'm melting again.

Always sleep naked but; the duvet (which is .5 tog) is too hot sometimes and I end up just lying on the bed naked.

One thing I do know for sure is that had I not lost this extra stone and a few lbs I was carrying around I would have been far more miserable than I have been.

I don't sleep completely naked. I wear a pair of footy shorts, or something that breathes and the air can travel up. I don't get under my covers at all, I simply hate the feeling too much. So during winter I sleep in big baggy onesies, about four times too big for me. I tend to fold the covers toward the middle, stuff them between my knees (so I don't wake up unable to walk) and sleep like that.

Do you reckon you could get full coverage with your unit? I'm thinking where I could fit a built in unit and whether it would do the flat or whether I'd need multiple.

Nah, I don't think it can do more than the one room.

We've got a portable one in our bedroom.

Does it cool the room down quickly?

Every time there is a hot spell I say we should get one, the price and having to hang pipes out of windows puts me off

My old flat had air con built in, it needed 2 units just to do the open plan lounge and kitchen, plus another in the main bedroom. They didn't even bother putting one in bedroom 2.

This flat was about 800 sqft.

It's not really worth it for three weeks a year, is it?

That's my conclusion each time, I bought some Wicks fans for £20 each, so now when its dark I open the windows in the kid's rooms and these fans randomly blow cooler air around: DD

If you get a heat pump unit, it can heat as well as cool, so not completely useless the rest of the year. Not cheap to install though, you'd be looking at £5k plus, and it'll cost more to run every year than traditional radiators.

We don't have air con at home, and it goes hotter for longer. Ceiling fans and carefully opening/closing windows and blinds as the sun moves round certainly help do a decent job. That, and a spray bottle of water that lives in the fridge.

I would like air con, but it's expensive to install and run, especially trying to cover most of the house.

I'd say it's at the very, very luxury end of the scale when it comes to consumer goods.

I would say it gets more use than 3 weeks a year, but currently that isn't true. :'(

I just don't think that's true at all.

A) it's not that expensive
B) it has a far more practical use than the majority of consumer goods

How much does it cost in energy and to the environment though?

I don't have the specs of mine to hand, but a similar model on Amazon uses a maximum of 800 W. Even if the compressor and heat pump was running flat-out all night [1] that's about 1.5 to 2 pence per day. Or it put it another way, it's only a little more than my desktop PC plus its monitors.

So "not much." Maybe even less than your VR racing rig.

[1] even on a hot night, its duty cycle is more like 50%, and the other half of the time it's just running the fan at a cost of a few watts.

It’s not quite zero environmental cost though, as if I wasn’t using the power it would go back into the grid (and probably run someone else’s air on).
