To all the EM owners here,

Can I check what do you use to cool your living area ?

1. Portable Air Con unit

2. Ceiling Fan/Stand Fan

3. Air Con Split system

as its a resale flat that i have bought, the existing is only 3 system which do not covers the living area. I was also told that its a waste of money to have air con unit in living room because of the large area.

So i was thinking what could be the best method of cooling the living room area.

As we have bought a chandelier for our living room, ceiling fan is out.

Any other ideas?

hi anthylau

i will be installing ceiling fan to cool the place.

not worth do a/c for living room also......and moreover, my current hse has ceiling fan for living and dining area.....so, will be able to cool the place down pretty well.

i think for you, maybe you are left with just standing fan....unless u are willing to part with the $ to get a portable a/c (which i think is quite costly).

i only got a standing fan to cool the living room. btw, what's the facing of your place? Is the living area warm during the day or night time?

Luckily for my house, i am facing north-south direction (Balcony north-front door south). So basically i dont get any sun into my house...but then i was worried during seasons like march - June, hottest period, i will be sweating like ****.

Well i was thinking of standing fan also, but then its quite an "obstacle" ... but then think left with no choice ...

i think shouldnt be a major problem la. My balcony is open concept, partially kena West sector (hee....laundry very fast dry up) and I only have a standing fan. Not very hot la cos still got plenty of wind.
