Mobile Air Conditioning Units

We have one bought several years ago from Homebase but no remote and it has always been very noisy. I wonder if they are any quieter and if anyone knows any web links with reviews?

Im on a coin meter in my flat and I previously had a 12000btu portable air conditioner, they all use similar ammounts of electricity, well it used to use about £8 or £9 a day in coins a day in summer when it was running all day long to cool my lounge!

I have in the last week had installed a multi split air conditioning installed, this is fixed air conditioning where you have an inside unit and a condenser unit outside on the wall. Its an inverter system which means the outdoor unit goes at the speed it needs to so if the room is really hot the compressor will run fast and slow down as room temperture goes down, meaning BIG energy savings and electrical savings.

I have 2 indoor units, one in the lounge and my bedroom connected to the outdoor unit and im shocked at how little it uses. Over the entire weekend of both units being switched on day and night it has used about £1 of electric.

For what I paid for the sytstem to be instqalled, it is LG equipment it is well worth it for the savings in electric im getting now.

And the bonus is that it does heating also, and is as cheap to run!

U burn 1.3kw of electric but get 4kw of heat output from it!!
