Summer started and, in addition to the solstice that officially started it, we also noticed it due to the increase in temperatures. The thermometer exceeds 30 ° in many Italian cities and not all of them are in possession of an air conditioner, both for lack of budget and for condominium limitations. Fortunately, though, it is possible to fight the heat with some alternatives to the fixed air conditioner.
Alternatives to the fixed air conditioner: the expensive and traditional fans
The fan has been used for many years to overcome the hottest months. It even seems that its first appearance took place around 500 BC. where, in India, enormous leaves were used joined together and moved by a system of ropes.

There are really all kinds of them and the last frontier is the USB one to attach to the PC and use on the desk. Sure, it's small, but to extreme evils ...

Evaporative coolers
These are portable mini air conditioners that do not have a dedicated hose for the hot air outlet. These products, in fact, use theevaporation of water or ice, placed in a special tray, to cool the air. The air jet is very similar to traditional fans, but the temperature is lower than that of the room. Basically the effect is like having ice in front of the fan. Great alternative, isn't it?
Evaporators can also be small in size, such as Evapolar, a project born in 2016 on Indiegogo which has raised more than a million dollars and which has made the use of these devices famous. Evapolar is a cube space-saving and very elegant that cools, humidifies and purifies the air.
Of course, not all that glitters is gold. These devices allow you to decrease the temperature of a medium-small room. You will therefore have no pretensions to transform your home into a natural habitat for penguins. They could be suitable for particularly hot bedrooms: just keep it on for a couple of hours before going to bed, to sleep peacefully.
The closest alternatives to the fixed air conditioner
Among the most valid alternatives to the fixed air conditioner we find that portatile, made in a single block and which does not include an external unit like the traditional ones. The advantage is that it is cheaper, above all because it is possible to install it yourself, and it allows you to cool your home with a higher efficiency than an evaporative cooler. Among the disadvantages we often find a high noise level, given that the engine is located in the internal block, and the need to let the hot air pipe go outside the house.
