You could be relaxing in a cool room, with a refreshing, air conditioned breeze wafting over you, for just 拢132.99 – if you’re quick enough to catch this amazing Wowcher deal.
It’s a voucher unlocking a 56% saving on a HomCom portable air conditioner, usually priced at 拢303.99, and it’s understandably selling fast on the hottest day of the year.
The 拢132.99 price is for the small 5,000 BTU model, which is powerful enough to cool down a small room, but there’s a much more powerful version also at a bargain price if you have larger rooms.
HomCom’s 10,000 BTU air conditioner is beefy enough to cool down a room up to 18 square metres, and it’s only 拢186.20 on Wowcher – again, if you’re quick enough to catch the deal.
With 10,000 BTU it’ll be really effective in a large lounge, or especially good in the average-sized bedroom.
Air conditioning units like these are by far the most effective way to cool a space, because they extract hot air, and expel refrigerated cold air.
It is worth remembering, though, they do use a reasonable amount of electricity, they can be a bit noisy, and they do need to be vented. The simplest way to do this is to run its ducting hose out of a window, but secure window kits can be bought separately. Alternatively, you could install a permanent ducting vent on an external wall.
The units not only cool a space, they can also be used as dehumidifiers, because they clean up the air. Most models include a fan mode, which is quieter but less effective at cooling, and some even double as a heater in the colder months.
