Air con unit
I bought an air conditioning unit in the Uk and brought it over in my car and have used it successfully here for ten years -just for my bedroom . However since we have moved the windows are of a different design and now I can't put the end of the hose out of the window and close it easily -Does anyone have any idea if the French produce something like a tumble drier inside the house unit that collects the hot air -when there is no outside wall as that might do the trick -I know you can get them in uk -or else I might get one on Amazon and get it delivered -thanks Lynda

Re: Air con unit
I can't see how this idea can possibly work. Condensing tumble dryers take the humidity out of the exhaust air but the heat still stays in the room.lynda wrote:I bought an air conditioning unit in the Uk and brought it over in my car and have used it successfully here for ten years -just for my bedroom .

You can just collect heat in a container.
You can buy air-conditioners that work by evaporation and don't need an outside vent but I would think your cheapest option would be to buy a through the wall venting kit like they use with non-condensing tumble dryers.

Thanks for all the info for the TV -we were watching Masterchef live last night -wonderful via my I pad and Apple TV and film on free app that you told me about !
As for this air con unit we think a plastic box with a hole in it and ice might do the trick as we can't get the vent out of the window and making a hole in the wall or window would cost a lot of money and then there at folding shutters as well! Amazon won't deliver the one I wanted to France - it is used for people with no outside wall for their tumble driers . Many thanks again Lynda

Re: Air conditioning unit
Good luck with it but if I remember my physics correctly, the heat output by a 6,000 btu air con unit will melt 18 litres of ice in an hour.lynda wrote:Thanks for all the info for the TV -we were watching Masterchef live last night -wonderful via my I pad and Apple TV and film on free app that you told me about !

If you find out that I am right, investigate evaporative air-con units.
