Hi
just back from trip to France & Spain- visited local DIY shed (BricoDepot)
saw a split aircon unit for 199 euros. It's a heating/cooling type with
two units. At that price I couldn't resist. I'm now planning the install,
and despite the instructions and instructional DVD being in French it
seems fairly straightforward.
My question is : is it possible/advisable to mount the compressor unit
(that would normally go on an outside wall) in the loft space? We have a
largeish house (6 bedrooms) with a correspondingly large loft.
Aside from making the installation easy, it saves mounting an ugly box on
an outside wall.
The aircon would be used rarely, to heat or cool a bedroom at times, so
wouldn't be running anywhere like 24/7.
Any thoughts?
TIA

it puts out hot damp air and maybe even a stream of water, it also relies on
cooler air to take the heat away, so no, the loft is not suitable.
