Re: O/T - AirCon (yes, even at this time of the year)

Any details and ideas of cost Alan ?

I'm only really interested in Air Con in master bedroom and maybe
guest room. The other rooms don't get as warm in summer.

Seems the best way to do it, otherwise i'll have to revert to plan
B, which was to house the main unit within the room sort of built-in
falsely. i.e. like a kind of speaker grill so it's not as obtrusive.

Was really hoping to get the unit out of the room though for noise
savings as much as anything else.
