Home air conditioner

Evaporative cooling is noisy but it's confined to your own house. I thought the OP was worried about noise caused to her neighbours. Maybe I've misunderstood

Hi thanks for your advice everyone, yes I would fit a wall Aircon with main fan/compressor outside on the ground but I live in a quiet area, silence at night and I worry about the noise upsetting my neighbours who have windows open. I'll keep thinking about it. Cold wet cloths are useful in a heatwave!

My ceiling fan is such a great help at night - it’s on now. It circulates the air - my window is open. Love it .

My Dad had a wall-mounted air-conditioner, and it was very quiet indeed - certainly not a problem for the neighbours.

Depends very much on the Model, and the neighbours. And wether they sleep with windows open. I am very sensitive to any electric/electronic noise, and would probably find it very unpleasant. In the dead of night, an electric hum can be unbearable for those with sensitive ears.

Look, you shouldn't be too distracted by your neighbors, if you're hot, go buy an air conditioner. You shouldn't live your life to please someone else. You have to live the life you want. You want an air conditioner, there is a Goodman option, it's environmentally friendly and not noisy. If you do not know how to install, then write to me, I will help. If you don't have time to wait, then order a handyman at www.airconservicing.org/type-of-aircon-service/ . You will be installed in any room and at any height. I hope I helped you with advice, by the way do not set too low a temperature at night, and you can catch cold!

I’m from Australia and air conditioning is commonplace here. The type of air conditioner your after is called a “split system” - the fan unit inside and the compressor outside. Most are 3 in 1 systems, so heating, cooling or dehumidifying - which is great for rainy or humid weather - takes the humidity out of the house and cools you down as wells for barely used any power.

All air conditioners will have their maximum decibels listed otherwise ask for them.

Our local councils have a maximum decibel level that they permit at night otherwise it’s noise pollution. Possibly your council could give you this information or point you in the right direction of what, if any rules you need to abide by.

If you stick with one of the reputable manufacturers who have whisper quiet technology and are energy efficient, I reckon you’ll be right.

I’m not sure what brands they sell over there, I have both a Panasonic and a Mitsubishi but I read B9exchange post who said she had a Daikin which is an awesome brand - very reputable and worth every cent - I’d be going for something like that.

I agree with B9exchange; if Daikin is available in your country, I suggest you buy that. We just had ours installed by Clover Services and so far, we love it. It's not loud at all and works great. I'm not sure how sensitive you are with the noise, but I feel like this will work for you. Also, I don't think you should worry that much about the noise. If I were your neighbor, I wouldn't mind a little noise from your AC. It's totally understandable.

A mid priced unit will purr.

I think you should choose whatever option uses the least power.
