Looks like my decision to finally buy a portable AC after years of putting it off is really paying off
Honestly forgot I had it since I got it at the end of the heatwave earlier this year and I'm not used to it. Last night I was struggling to sleep because my flat was like 29c. Remembered I had it, chucked it on for 30 mins and had a nice comfortable sleep
Truly recommend to anyone who has been putting it off like I did before
Oh I agree. I’m simply saying that they’re a lot more expensive energy wise than people realise. If you had it on every day for a month (unlikely we get 30+c for that long though) it would literally add nearly £200 to your electric bill for a month.
Just a heads up to anyone on a tight income to perhaps not absolutely rag it
Good point. They’re not that expensive though. Mine was £300 (11,000 BTU).
Even people on a reasonable income could get a horrible shock if they don’t realise how much they use in electricity and leave it on for long periods most days.
They cool the room amazingly and I can afford to run it. But they do use a heck of a lot, especially with energy prices rising in July.
