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

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

We've got a portable one in our bedroom.

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

I guess if you have the money, sure.

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

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

So for the sake of the environment we should trash Myps VR Racing Rig?

Fair enough. I stand corrected.

Aren't you cool enough already, snowflake?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
