RE: Air Con Questions.... was Keeping Homebase in business....

Then I'd say that you would probably do OK ducting the air into the next
room but don't duct it more than a couple of meters or the air friction
within the pipe will reduce the flow and hence the efficiency.

Sounds like it's performing like a split unit ...
