CathS 10 #5 Posted May 25, 2012 IMO you may as well put some ice in front of the fan rather than buy that. The only way to cool down the air is to buy a proper air con unit. We have a similar situation, we are in the loft and plan on buying a proper unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nataliie 10 #7 Posted May 25, 2012 IMO you may as well put some ice in front of the fan rather than buy that. The only way to cool down the air is to buy a proper air con unit. We have a similar situation, we are in the loft and plan on buying a proper unit. I don't think that's necessarily true though, we have an air conditioning box thing like that upstairs (Okay, maybe it was more than £50) and it's just as good as the proper air conditioning we have in the conservatory. Going by some of the reviews, I'd say the one in Argos is worth a try. Could always return it if it's no good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
poppins 10 #8 Posted May 25, 2012 I have an attic fan installed in the window, it works on a thermostat set to draw out the hot air at your desired temperature, they can be installed into the roof I'd you have no window, my attics just for storage but I open up the attic door and it'll draw all the hot air out of the whole house if you keep all the windows closed but one, downside is, if it's damp out it'll draw all the dampness in, and it's also quite noisey .perfect for cool nights for the whole house if the attics left open.

MrSmith 10 #9 Posted May 25, 2012 cant afford something like that, and we are hopeing to move ASAP so it's only short term thing You can take an aircon unit with you and I do agree with CathS, we had one of those units I posted and whilst they are OK and better than a fan, they aint as good a an aircon unit.

WeX 10 #10 Posted May 25, 2012 contrary to most people in the Uk's actions, close the windows and shut the curtains. Also get black out curtains if you can. This is how they do it in most hot countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

baz66 10 #12 Posted May 25, 2012 The only problem is its quite noisy but it has several modes including de humidify so you can use it for a few hrs and the room should be more bearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
