The hot season continues and the usual thing is that for cool our houses Let’s opt for different passive home methods such as opening the windows in the cooler hours, controlling blinds and awnings, or directly using an electrical device such as a fan, an evaporative air conditioner or better yet, if the budget allows it, a air conditioning systemeither fixed or portable.

However, the problem with most of these air conditioners is that their ability to generate coolness often remains. limited to the room where we have it installed (unless we go to a much more expensive and complex duct equipment).

Also, we cannot always have them placed in the ideal place in the house where they would be able to move the greatest amount of cold, since when it comes to installing the devices, we can often only do it where there is a suitable hole in the room that is also compatible with the installation of the external device if it has one.

This means that if we want cool multiple rooms at once we have to install several pieces of equipment, one in each room. One way to solve this problem and better distribute the frigories generated by our air conditioning equipment with the rest of the house is through the use of traditional fans placed at strategic points.

But there are users who go a step further and achieve, with a single air conditioning unit cool several rooms at the same time. How do they do that? These are the craziest and/or sloppiest tricks that I have come across on the Net.

One of the most common tricks to better distribute the air conditioning goes through install PVC pipes between multiple rooms so that cold air can pass from one room to another.

Ideally we would have a ducted construction, with a false ceiling, wall and everything well insulated, although if aesthetics do not concern us we have solutions like the one shown in these videos. They have no waste.

Another solution that works if the rooms are stuck next to each other and that without a doubt is much more aesthetic, goes through install an exhaust fan in the room where the air conditioner is installed after drilling a hole in the wall to the other room. It is also necessary to make another hole with a ventilation grill usually located in the lower area of ​​the wall so that the air can circulate well between the two rooms.

Another of the most recurrent tricks that we can find on the Internet goes through divide the split air conditioner into two parts. To do this, a large bag is used attached to the equipment as much as possible in one of the halves and at the end of the bag more bags or tubes are attached to get the air to where we need it. At the other end a fan is placed so that it is able to move the air and that it is not retained in the duct and that’s it, what could go wrong?

If sticking bags and pipes to the split with insulating tape seems unattractive to us, we have another, more comfortable option: install it directly on the a hole made between the wall of both rooms. It may seem like a radical, complicated and not at all immediate solution where there will be no going back, but without a doubt it will be most effective despite the losses we have because of the wall.

Finally, an option that combines several of the previous ones goes through make our own plastic duct to carry all the air that comes out of the split to the desired room in the house. As we can see from this Tweetaesthetic and elegant does not fit, plus if the tube is large we will probably lose part of the cold along the way, but surely the result is most satisfactory.
