My cousin lives up in East Anglia in a house built in the mid 1300s. They have bought box fans for every room otherwise they cannot even sleep. No aircon, obviously. The local council will not allow the house to be retrofitted since it's historical.

There are mobile aircons, no drilling holes required.
Please make sure your wiring and electric box can support an air conditioner (mobile or not). You don't want to cause a blow out or fire...

A separate circuit for the A/C (window unit, mobile or central) is ideal, if possible.

Peace

A mobile AC draws hardly any amps. I tested mine that is rated for 700sqft to pull 6 amps at 110v.
