3 bed semi. Want a split system with units in each bedroom & in the open plan downstairs.
In regular times I imagine that quotes would be cheaper in the winter but I guess it doesn’t make a difference now? with the increased demand & stock shortages
Should I be getting quotes ASAP or leaving it for a few months yet?
Are the scalpers back at it again already, even though the heat waves are over? The only product page that still says "Back in stock: October 2026" is the 12000 model, which does not have an inverter.
Hi there!
I’m doing a masters program and staying at college accommodation.
Unfortunately, I’m finding that not just my room, but most buildings in the UK are stifling hot with no airflow or cooling.
This wouldn’t be a huge deal, except I have multiple sclerosis and my worst symptom is extreme heat intolerance - I can’t regulate my body temperature or cool myself off and I’m finding myself overheating dangerously — and it’s really affecting my ability to go do anything, as it makes me physically sick.
As it is October and I’m already not able to handle the heat, I am horrified about what the summer will bring.
I am hoping you might have suggestions for a portable aircon I can suggest to the college to help me as a disability accommodation.
I also have the added issue of being immune compromised, and need a unit that doesn’t use refillable standing water as its as huge bacteria/mold risk for me.
Any units you’d recommend?
TLDR: need suggestions for a portable aircon with a closed cooling system / not refillable standing water for a disabled student with medical heat intolerance and immunosuppression.
I'm looking to get AC in 3 rooms - living room, master bedroom and bedroom 2. The engineer said its be best to have a 2 split and single split for the rooms due to distance.
The single split for master bedroom will be off the plugs ring main, so minimal distance for electric and piping.
The multi split will have it's own ring main with electric cable run round the outside of the house to the back where the split unit will go. Also need new distribution board as all slots full. Cabling from box is about 15m. Living room unit will be pretty much next to the split unit. Bedroom trunking around 10m. Distances estimated.
Is this quote reasonable (Cambridgeshire ): £9k for 3 internal units and 2 external - 1 single and 1 multi split.
Hi, just seeing what people think of this quote and the equipment listed, if it is any good, and comparable to the common brands of Fujitsu / Toshiba / Daikin / Mitsubishi Electric. It will need some tweaks such as not needing that many condensate pumps etc but the core information is there.
It is the first quote I have had for an LG system.
Have had a few quotes now where they want to put in 2kw to 2.5kw in the 4 rooms. Had a quote for Fujitsu from one company which came back at 8K approx, but he wanted to put in 3.5kw units into 2 of the rooms rather than the 2.5kw listed here, and a bigger external unit. So am not sure whether people are undersizing the units at 2.5kw or the 3.5w is being oversized.
Hi all
I've been considering getting a split unit, though a DIY one as I cannot justify the installation costs of a non-diy f gas unit.
I have a few questions about the eletriq (I think) branded ones.
My main 3 things that come to mind are..
Can I utilise a full 5m vertical run from condenser to the fan unit?
Can the units be detached safely to be repositioned I.e if I were to move?
Can the units be refilled at all?
Are there any major cons to these units? I'd love a fancy setup but I can't afford to go down that route and even this is a huge luxury.
I had considered portable units, but space and efficiency is a problem. I have an attic style room that gets VERY hot, running into the 40s, so a portable oelne was of concern due to the mechanics of how they work and essentially radiate heat back into the room they're trying to cool etc.
UK AC installers. How well did you do in the summer?
I have a conservatory which is too cold to use in winter time. Can i put my portable ac in there, make it colder and vent the hot exhaust air into the house through a currently unused catflap? Is this crazily inefficient or genius?
Have found a local aircon installer who has given me a competitive quote, or so I think anyway, for a multisplit system for my property.
I can't seem to find out much about the company, mainly reviews from various sources and am not sure if this should be a red flag or not, and they don't really seem very well advertised as a lot of the more popular local installers are. They have 2 reviews on google and 3 on facebook, all within the last 12 months.
According to companies house they were formed in 2015 so a fair while in the business, they do refrigeration, ventilation and air con services, for domestic and commercial. Find it a bit odd how they havent got more reviews, and pictures of their work / past projects etc.
Would this be a red flag to you or nothing to worry about ...
Managed to pre order when they stealth dropped the 16k heat and cool. Just had confirmation of shipping and delivery planned for tomorrow. So glad to not have to stress next summer and also can use the heater this winter too.
I am about to move into my new three-bed house and am looking at getting some decent free-standing units as the wallet does not allow me to get full air-con fitted. But,decent freestanding units could be a great alternative. Completely new to this so any suggestions, recommendations and advice is welcome TIA
