sorted byIt is but when you're not using the AC, you can remove the hose and close the window. The window seal has a zip which makes it easy. Basically like this:
woolie.co.uk/art…se/
Depends, lots of people have solar panels and get free electricity throughout the day. We run ours as soon as the panels start kicking out 1kW which is enough time to keep the houseat 17C throughout the day.
Otherwise at current energy prices you are probably paying £2 a day depending on how much work the AC is doing. People pay more for a daily coffee, I'd rather have a cool house especially working nights.
Currently electricity has gone up 45% but in reality it means overnight costs have gone up from £175 to £250 for the year.
Average yearly cost of petrol is £1,028. Electricity would have to quadruple even after the massive rise and it would still be cheaper and that's without the savings on car tax
Don't forget you can get free electricity from supermarkets, workplaces, car parks, retail outlets, if you have solar. Where can you get free petrol/diesel?
Edit:
nvm I only saw pic 3, pic 4 appears to show it can be fitted on a side opening window. Reviews seems hit and miss though
Price is slightly below average but not the lowest which is to be expected for this time of the year though:

The hose that you're supposed to put out of the window goes through a window seal, so insects won't be able to get in while you're using the AC
Charge at work or destination chargers (mostly free).
Charge using lamppost charging or press the council to install them in your area (cheap).
Use Podpoint rapid chargers - 26p/kwh so about 5p/mile to drive.
Local council here are putting in banks of 7kW chargers in council car parks designed for charging overnight.
Park & Charge Oxfordshire (parkandchargeoxfordshire.co.uk)
Obviously it is more difficult to charge without home charging just as it is more difficult to park in general, which is why people pave over pretty front gardens to park their cars.
Ultimately it depends if you want to have some inconvenience to save quite a lot in fuel bills. Of course some won't want to and that's fine, just like some choose to drive around in 4x4s despite never going off road and pay extra for fuel. It doesn't mean there is one "right" way we all have different lives.
Certainly you can only take advantage of 5p/kWh charging at home. But you can only take advantage of free charging at work, destination charging or if you have solar.
You could equally say "why don't those with driveways get free charging like people who have free chargers at work get?". Ultimately life isn't fair. (edited)
"Charge using lamppost charging or press the council to install them in your area (cheap)." - Good luck with that. Not only will most councils be reluctant to do this outside city centres, but the infrastructure is not up to it. Do you have any idea the electrical load of a street light vs even a single EV charger? You can't just stick a load of charging points on lamposts without huge upgrades at great expense. It's not going to be prevalent for years, or decades.
"Local council here are putting in banks of 7kW chargers in council car parks designed for charging overnight." - fine if the council car park is in a convenient location. Tough if you don't live near the city centre.
Ultimately, charging infrastructure cannot keep pace with the government's vision of the speed of EV adoption. Even if they ramp it up, who do you think is going to pay for the MASSIVE costs? EVs may be cheaper to charge (for now) than the cost of petrol, but the 'break even' point is getting longer all the time. The cheapest EVs with a sensible range start from £30,000. The cheapest petrol cars are around £11,000. I can just about afford a brand new petrol vehicle. No way can I afford £30,000 - which applies to a majority in the UK.
So if the machine is pumping out a load of hot air out the window, where does the air come from to replace it. Surely it has to ultimately come from outside. This is ok if the house is boiling and outside is cooler (maybe just open a window) but what if it’s just as hot outside. I can’t get my head round, I guess that’s why built in systems work better as they seem to have a separate system. Am I over thinking this
Not as simple as it sounds, there are additional inefficiencies introduced with dual hose systems as well, especially if it's 'modded' with cardboard and duct tape...
What do you think fans run off?
Mhmm 30watt vs 700+watt@ :/
With my meat?!?!?! I'll do no such thing!!!!!!
What about the 6.64 million households without a drive or a garage?
You’re meat to seal the window around the pipe to properly vent it out. Can get kits for this (edited)
The average EV owner will go onto a tariff that's cheap to recharge like Octopus Go that costs 2p per mile vs 20.1p per mile for petrol and 17.9p for diesel.
Even if you recharge for just 4 hours at the cheapest rate, that's 100-150 miles per day. You could do the full recharge the next night at the cheapest rate but no one is going to run down their battery to 0% when you can charge everyday you go home
The other 4 hours if anyone needed a full charge from 0% in one go isn't much more and still cheaper than petrol/diesel anyway (edited)
If not, then cut a board to match the inside of the open window, with a hole in it to accept the hose, then secure/wedge it in place
Your TV takes more power than your fan! (edited)
Wouldn't this apply for most electrical items though?
any guides / blogs on that ?
Why would someone be lumbered with electric cars, even when electricity doubles, it's still far cheaper per mile than petrol/diesel which will always be more expensive
Let me blow your mind; Check out octopus go energy tariff.
Yep, get a split system for better efficiency, if the property and budget allows! They all have their uses.
I’m not sure why you dismiss dual hose, the evidence and physics are clear. And if the only real choice in this country is single hose then I don’t see why you should deride a simple modification that would save people money and energy. (edited)
Defo don’t put your meat in the window
Currently it’s 58% cheaper to run an electric over a petrol car, that will halve in the next three months and who knows how much more in the next year. So not that much cheaper when you factor in the limitations in mileage, having to charge at an expensive place like McDonald’s for example and the extra 25% insurance premium on electric vehicles (source autoexpress).
Also not so long ago we were all told to go Diesel and look how that’s turned out
Looks like top is open tho..
AC must be sized for the room... 9000BTU in a small home office or box bedroom would be far too large and would result in short cycling (as well as the unit, itself, occupying unnecessary floor space and being noisier).
What about all the people lumbered with new electric cars?
You use a window adapter to prevent that, these units work very well with sash windows (edited)
See my comment above about modding, and the link explaining.
You’re right to think about where the air comes from!
With dual hose, the air you’re pumping out is replaced with air outside, without ever mixing with the cool air inside.
But with single hose, yes you are constantly drawing in new hot air from outside, into the room you are cooling. That’s why a simple mod can make this more efficient. (edited)
