I live in a top floor flat. The rear rooms which I use as bedroom/office
get really hot as the sun is beating on them all day long.

Ive been looking at small air con units. Ive been told that its no good
putting the vent out of an open window and this doesnt look good either.

I cant put a vent hole through the wall to the outside as the lease wont
allow it.

If you're renting the place personally I would just vent it out the
window.
If you're after a more permanent solution get a vent slate fitted on the
roof and plug into that. As one of the other posters mentioned, most half
decent portable air-con units come with an attachment for sash-type
windows,
however we've found it works just as well dangling the hose out the
window.
These things kick out serious heat so I wouldn't be too keen on venting
into
a sealed space. Ours also collects around 4L of water per day!

Thanks for the info Andy.

Roof vent slate is a great idea but isnt poss. I'n not renting but the lease
wont allow it.

I'll just hang a hose out the window - but I dont have sash windows. Mine
are double glazed units which are hinged at the sides so the bottom opens
outwards. Is that a problem? I guess as long as I dont get any blow back it
should be OK shouldnt it??

I didnt consider how much heat they have to dispose of until now.

But at the mo my office with sun glaring at me through blinds plus PC and
monitor belting out loads of heat = 36C(97F) in the room!!!!! And thats with
two fans on. PC has been groaning about the heat too. Have got a fan blowing
on it now!!!

I'm meltinggggggggg!!

Thanks
