Air Con

[MART]

With August approaching I`m considering trying to buy a small portable air conditioning unit for a small bedroom.

The electric supply is 3 kw.

If possible would like it to have it incorporate a heater for the cooler months.

Has anyone had any experience of the portable systems.

I think i would looking at something around 9000 btu for the size of room.

Some older posts suggest Spar/ Euronics and Expert in Scalea.Has anyone had recent experience of these units?

thanks

Hi Mart
I can't offer any advice as far as recent experience of these units is concerned but you are looking at approx. 2.4kw for a portable 9000btu unit. If like us you have an electric storage water heater then they are typically about 1.5kw in Italy and a washing machine uses about 700watts at any one time. So whilst one of these units would be fine you may need to plan doing the washing/showeres etc. around its use to prevent the electric from tripping out.

Also, they do sell them at the Euronics store above the Spar.
