I purchased a an air conditioning unit from B&Q. It is an Amcor 12,000
BTU unit with a tumble-dryer type pipe that you shove out of an open
door or window.

The unit was on and running today. It turned the room into a fridge.

Superb unit. About £300 though - so not cheap.

However, it is noisy. You couldn't sleep with it on.

That was my thought about all the talk about fans - apart from the power
use.

I have a two unit portable air conditioner. I can sleep with it on, but
Barbara cannot. What I tend to do is use the air-con during the day to chill
the bedroom to about 15C and leave it off overnight. It makes a nice refuge
room during the day too, if I need to recover from excessive heat.
