OK, this thread has convinced me. I'm just thinking of replacing the portable air conditioner units properly now that the solar panels have been in and running for a year or two. It's going to need to be a tidy install without excessive pipework running over the outside. It's a four bed house, I'm thinking of potentially two units: one for the Master bedroom and one for the Living room; other rooms would be a pain to run to. I'd initially thought a ducted system in the loft might be a good solution to the master bedroom, landing and kids' room, but it sounds like that has its own challenges.
Any thoughts on things to consider, or look out for in hindsight, from people who have had systems fitted recently? Lastly, any suggestions on which units to go for based on a mid-level budget (i.e. not the cheapest but good quality, quiet and durable without being ridiculously expensive) and any recommendations for a supplier in Suffolk.
I've made some notes from the thread but wanted to check in in case the folks who've now had a year or two of operation had any reflections on what went well / what they'd have done differently if they were starting again now.
