Morning all. Another day in furnace Britain beckons. 🥵
@Jaimieserotica I feel for you, having come from over that side of the world years back. I live in Australia now but the heat still gets me. Hope it eases for you soon❤️
@acesfunhouse Thanks! At least in Oz they're geared up for it with air-con and the like. I think we're going to have to get on board with that quickly if this is going to be the new normal..
@Jaimieserotica yeah, not all people, but some for sure....depends if you rent or own, for example, how old your place is. I only have a portable aircon as a renter(and bring under the poverty line), and in the height of summer it doesn't cut it😅I'd definitely get on board with aircon if your funds allow, for sure!
It is tricky, isn't it - aircon is expensive to buy, and expensive to run. So, again, better off people are going to have a better time.
And while solar can help offset the energy costs, installing panels is still expensive.
I have aircon in my garden office, and I am incredibly grateful for it.
@neil @acesfunhouse
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a portable air-con unit for the main bedroom and then take a view of what I do later on. It's going to be too pricy to get the whole house kitted out, but just being able to sleep without dissolving into a sweaty puddle would be a real boon right now.
We priced up aircon for our house, and it was ££££. But if this is going to be a recurring thing, it might be a long term investment.
We have a portable unit, from four years ago (so there might be better ones now) and it is incredibly noisy. I can sleep through it, but Sandra struggles.
