Those split air conditioners work pretty good.

I am getting up to 30 at the moment then cold at night. It's hard work being in certain situations sometimes. I will be keeping an eye out for one myself when I move into a bigger groom. It will just tick over to keep a constant temperature and also another smaller one for a dry room,dries far too quick right now for me.

The ceapest I found were on that Wish shopping online. Some were only 20 odd pounds and at that price you could replace once every 1-2 years if that's the only affordable route.

I looked on Argos and other main places and they get very expensive.

Failing that try placing a tub of ice behind a fan and replace once or twice per day.

I use a 10,000 btu in a 10x12 foot sealed room, which cools it very well. I've also used a cheap 5000 btu in the past, it works too! But keep in mind, the small a/c will always be working much harder than a larger unit

Usually I would just stick another outtake fan on the tent in summer to keep air turnover as high as I can without using a direct blast of air from an internal fan. Never gets that hot here though.

Move more air if you can. If its 24c outside the groom but 30c in it then bigger fans will work lovely.

Air con is a expensive game. I've used smaller ones but as josh says they are working full whack 24/7. The reality is with ac bigger works best imo but bigger costs a fortune to run.

Keep a eye out in b and q, they often have offers on ac that are not in their website.

Wouldn't you get lower run costs if you are well insulated and just keepoing things ticking over?

I'm not sure how air con work? I suspect once they are on they use quite a bit even if only ticking over?
