it isn’t perfect (we have a very awkward velux so had to use a kit that wasn’t made for our window) but does a good enough job if there’s one that would fit your window.

As soon as I bought an air conditioner, I found myself faced with the problem of the hot air exhaust pipe.Its a big hole that you need to bore, and you will be able to hire the hole saw and an impact drill heavy enough to cope from a local hire centre. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. They are usually placed in walls or roofing to allow airflow to the outside and promote good air circulation. If it is too small it can compromise your household cooling system and result in inefficient air conditioning. If you are going to choose this method to vent your unit, be careful to consider which wall you choose to drill into.

I present my installation to you: a hatch with plug is installed in the wall, a 2m pipe crosses the lost part of the attic, and the hot air is evacuated outside the house by a grille. Has anyone done this and presumably there is some way of closing the vent in winter, Also how much did it cost ? Then transfer these measurements onto the plexiglass, measuring a second time to ensure that they are correct, and cut the panel out. This is important as it created a closed environment which the AC can control to maximise its efficiency. If you’re sick of sweltering uncomfortably during hot sunny days, an air cooler could help you beat the heat this summer.I want to install an extractor fan from the middle of in a 1930s mid-terrace house and run the ducting above the ceiling along the. Not having the means to have a better insulated house, it is an acceptable solution because the heatwaves do not last very long in the north of France. The problem is the hose needs to go out of the window and I don’t have a small casement type window only a large one and due to ill health I sometimes go to bed in the afternoon but when I try using the unit for a while to cool the room down it’s struggling as bedroom is south facing and with this very hot weather the heat is coming in the window even with a curtain pulled round it. Understanding how your portable air conditioning unit works and how to set it up can vastly improve its effectiveness, saving you money on energy and regulating the temperature of your building.

I have just bought a DeLonghi Portable Air-conditioner, it was supplied with a vent hose (designed I believe, for venting out of a window) and I wondered whether anyone can tell me where I can get a kit to fix a permanent vent hole in the wall (presumably would need a new hose.We have a 13month old and potentially would like more DC so i said to DH i wanted at least one room which is cool and we can all retreat to in the summer. Due to stupidity measuring issues, my idiot DP managed to drill through to the back of our gas meter box. You must use a roof window caulking kit (Velux) which is neither aesthetic nor practical to install.
