Probably a bit too late for the heatwave but still worth purchasing (efficient heating for winter also). I went for 2x of the dual "easy fit" units for 4 rooms so needed an engineer install, but you can fit these "quick fit" units yourself as the pipe is pre-gassed and the connection uses the quick fit clamps. (I fitted one of these at my old place years ago when B&Q sold their Airforce units).

Light years away from the naff portable units with the pipe dangling out of a window.

So you don't own a BBQ, you don't have a patio you don't have any decking, you don't go on holiday and you don't own any Christmas decorations? Weird.

They're not disposable, you can use them next year and the year after. Massive exaggeration to say only a few days per year. Worth the money just for a perfect night's sleep all this week let alone additional days, and for "occasional" heating when it's not cold enough to fire up the central heating.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. That's 3.4 kW of heating capacity not electricity consumption.
Heat pumps don't work like that.
With heat pumps and heating you get 3 times the efficiency of a conventional electrical heating.
These work out to be around 3.4 kW of heating from 1 kW of electricity,

How effective are these in the winter? I haven't looked into them in detail but I thought they had a cut off minimum temperature and the efficiency is reduced in cold weather.
I would still like to install my house with them as hot water radiators see so old fashioned.

I could be wrong, but you would need to combine this with a ground source of heat to even contemplate replacing traditional central heating - and these will cost thousands and require a suitable garden.

They are 3.4KW, so that is like leaving your kettle running all day, will cost you a small fortune... at 3.4KW for 8 hours a day (depending on your electric rate) you are looking at £100 a month for one
at 12p a Unit electric, you are probably paying more
3.4 x 8 = 27.2 x 0.12 = £3.26 per day

They do have a cut-off - usually just above freezing. We use one and it does heat even if very cold outside but if it is below zero outside then you need other forms of heating or a ground source unit that takes heat from down in the ground. Great for quickly taking the chill off one room if you need to and don't want to heat the whole house, but more useful as a cooling unit

Just to note does not come with remote or wall bracket. Have to purchase separately.

Remote included, wall bracket optional (can be bolted to the floor).
What's in the box?
The eIQ-9WMINVQC Quick Connector DC Inverter is comprised of two main units. There is the internal unit which is mounted on the wall of the room you wish to cool supplied with an indoor wall bracket, and then the corresponding external unit (called the condenser) which sits on the ground or on a wall bracket (can be supplied separately if required ) on the outside. A 4 metre coil of interconnecting copper pipe, electrical cable and a remote control also comes in the box.
You can use the supplied remote control to set your desired temperature and then let the air conditioner automatically regulate the heat throughout the day at a maintained level, without having to change settings yourself. Many of our customers are now installing these super inverter air conditioners for their impressive heating ability as well the cooling.

ah ok, I worked it out on usual consumption then, so working on your theory of 1KW, you are looking at £35 ish a month, still expensive for 1 room per month, and that is based on 8 hours, and if these are like normal convection heaters where the room goes cold almost instantly you turn them off they will consume more than 8 hours?

A few days in the low 30s and everyone rushes out to buy air conditioners. We might have another few days in August tho... :smile:

That's not "quick fit", you'll need an engineer install (£300+). Appliances Direct have cheaper non-quick fit units too.
