I have a portable Air-con unit that I use in my loft office. to exhaust the hot air I have 3 options
1 - through the velux roof window, this sort of works but the pipe is not secure and often falls onto the floor, and the air-con is not in the most ideal place, in fact is kind of in the way.
2 - the extractor fan for my bathroom runs from the bathroom floor to a vent on the ridge of the roof.
I could adapt some pipework add in a "Y" piece and then and put some non-return valves in to stop exhausted air from either room being exhausted in to the other room.
3 - I drill a hole through an exterior wall and use the supplied "flap" to have a port that I can just plug the air-con in to whenever I need to cool the room. This would put the air-con in the most optimal place in the room as it is in the corner out of the way in a space I cannot otherwise really use.
Is core-drilling a 125mm hole through my wall a bit silly for a portable air-con for 3/4 weeks a year ?
