@DampCat We've had three indoor units (two 2.5kW and a 5kW) from an 8kW outdoor unit all Mitsubishi and they've been excellent since we got them in 2022. They tick along at around 700w energy use each and the outdoor unit is silent.

I've got it in one room, don't expect it to work miracles but it definitely helps

The stuff I got off was €12 a roll and it dropped the ambient temp in the south facing rooms we used it on by 2-3°C.

We used 5 rolls, and while it’s not the most relaxing thing to fit (think giant phone screen protectors), our is still giving that 2-3°C temp reduction 4 years later being having been exposed to 40°C summers.

As always, I would recommend shutters or an awning if those are possible as stopping the sunlight from reaching the window/doors is always the most efficient way to stop windows heating up.
