Let\u2019s face it, we\u2019re just not equipped to deal with weather that\u2019s too hot or too cold.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, you can enjoy basking all day (or at least for an hour during lunch) in this glorious sunshine, but how do you get through these balmy nights? Other than tossing and turning to find a precious cool patch of bed sheet, you could consider investing in an air conditioning unit to keep you fresh.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get real &#8211; we\u2019re not going to be needing this particular investment all that often. But it\u2019s worth getting one in the hope that heatwaves like this will be an annual thing.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to keep in mind when browsing for your new air conditioner unit:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The bigger the room, the higher the British Thermal Units (BTU) number of your air conditioner should be. On the downside, a high BTU number makes the unit more expensive and less eco-friendly.<\/li>\n<li>Check the energy efficiency rating. A++ is the most economical, and G is the least.<\/li>\n<li>A higher-end model may be expensive at first, but it\u2019ll save you money in the long term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s our list of 5 of the best UK home air conditioners:<\/p>\n<h2>Amcor SF8000E portable air conditioner<\/h2>\n<p>Got a smaller space to cool?
