subject: Portable Air Conditioning [print this page] As fresh English summers became hotter of late, more folk are on the lookout for paths to cool their home.
There's nothing worse than having sleep-deprived nights due to damp, sticky air. Opening your windows isn't really enough and it can really make things worse. Many people will have the everyday desk fan in our bedrooms, but all that does is shift air around, it creates a pleasant draft it does zip to basically cool a room down.
Air conditioning systems we are used to seeing at our workplace are expensive, not to mention unsightly, i don't think the neighbours would be too happy seeing a ten foot square metal box stuck to the side of your house would they?
It's wonderful to understand that the overwhelming majority of folk still living in Britain think there's no reasonable solution to cooling down their houses.
Well this isn't the case. Portable air conditioning units have been available in the UK for some time. With prices starting at around 100, you can own your own your home aircon unit, one that you can move around the house as required.
Now many would disagree that global warming is causing the warmer summers and that by buying and using an air conditioner, you will really be making a contribution to global warming.
You ought to be made aware that there are several CFC free air conditioners that do not emit harmful gases into the atmosphere.
It is true to say that air con units are power hungry although in reality they may cost only around 10p an hour to operate. It's a small price to pay for a sound nights sleep and you should look to offset that power usage by cutting back in other ways, unplug your tv instead of leaving it on stand by for instance.
It actually is a matter of priority, and having the ability to wake up each morning feeling refreshed is a higher concern in my eyes than being in a position to switch on the television without needing to plug it in first.
There are a number of specialist online air conditioning retailers that stick a wide range of portable air conditioners, coolers and dehumidifiers, just make sure you look out for those retailers that sell CFC free products.
By shopping on the net, you are able to save on automobile fuel ( itself more kind to the environment ), save on parking fees, avoid intrusive target chasing sales staff and avoid carrying big boxes around.
Stay cool this summer and benefit from a great nights sleep.
