portable air con-help me solve this problem!!

I would just love to have an air con system, but the old boy hates a high power bill, if the elec bill touches $200 he is spacking at us for the next three months to keep things turned off, lol.

Hubby just bought us a portable air con. Awesome! Doesn’t need an expensive set up. Just hang the pipe out of the window, tape it up a little so it doesn’t let in hot air and there you go. And if you ever decide to move, you can take it with you. And you can technically move it from room to room to. Saves you the money for getting a wall-mounted one professionally installed. Ours is a Fujia. We had a Midea first but that didn’t do anyhting. Look out for a high kw. 4.1kw is pretty good. Good luck!

I am definately going to try that jatz, I am another Queenslander, and it is awful and muggy up north here, lol.

Sitting here in our office right now after an extremely hot day. We only have a fan in here Stay C and have a damp t-towel working overtime as I write. Nice and cool.

I’d love aircon in my bedroom but I have a large sliding window and don’t want to close it off with an aircon unit so it’ll have to be a proper wall-mounted unit, but I can’t afford it atm.

Jatz I love the damp tea towel idea and will have to try that one, I’m in QLD too.

Emms I like the ply wood idea. We will see if cranky agrees!

I agree with Jatz, the one I had was totally useless, I just made my own window setup to suit the window I had. That pathetic excuse for an airconditoner did next to nothing unless you were directly in front of it and I had a power bill about double what it normally is. I now just have a regular window airconditioner, and it is heaven 🙂

have you had much thought to the text idea i sent you .. did u mention it to mark ? lol

thanks girls.
unfortunatley i cant install a wall unit as i am not prepared to pay and let the lanlord keep it when we go, i’d prefer to take it with us.
i am thinking we will contact a hanyman and he can take measurements and just make something for the window.
i might have a look at the good guys elmo for the air con and ask their advice
its so hot in this place sometimes

We had one of those portable air conds……but it just moved from room to room. It was hopeless and wouldn’t go there again.
I know the window you are talking about Tkm…..but I think that’s an impossible task for what you want to do.
I live in Qld, where its dam hot in summer and our room gets the sun from 1pm onwards. At the time we didn’t have air con in there, just a bigger portable fan. We would leave the fan on all through the balmy hot night and slept well with that. If we had a little catnap in the arvo, when it was hot in there……we would dampen a tea towel and clip it on to the fan. When the fan blew, it would blow on the tea towel and you could feel the moisture and coolness.
