Portable A/C unit for home
Can I have some recommendations? We can have the windows open for the exhaust type unit.

We had a portable air con unit years ago for the loft conversion as it gets so hot in there, and it was a disappointment due to the loud noise it made, plus having the vent hanging out of the window which kind of defeats the object of cooling the room.
We fitted the proper split air con units in our bedrooms and have never looked back. They are so quiet and with the windows shut it limits the noise from outside, plus we have comfortable sleeps on the warm nights. They also good for quickly heating the rooms on a cold night. Might be worth getting a few quotes for a proper split air con unit. |

That said, we have a comfortable temperature set on our air con units, so we don't have it like some of the shops/restaurants in Florida do, to the point you are shivering it's so cold. |

We have a portable unit. For the window vent we had a piece of clear perspex made with a hole that fitted the tube. It clips onto the window when the Ac is being used. This eliminates the loss of coolness through the window however it is still too noisy for us so we have had a full outside system fitted this year. DD is having the portable one for her flat.
We used a local company for the split system and installation. |
We are another couple who bought a portable unit - it was way, way too noisy to be able to sleep with it on so we had a split system installed and have never looked back - we love it.

I have my condenser units on the wall at the back of the house, but as Ive got a flat roof kitchen so it's nice and straightforward for access. I did the electrics myself and was fortunate that the guy who did mine works for a company full time, so he did mine at the weekends and wasn't overly expensive. I would call a few people from the likes of Checkatrade to get quotes. |

Last time I looked most companies were business oriented not domestic. I can't say I tried too hard as we don't want to install into this house before we move :) |

ETA - ours was a very straightforward location - internal unit on the bedroom wall through a bit of loft space and directly out to a flat roof where the external unit sits. |
