Meh.
For a little bit more, you can get yourself a decent airconditioning system.
Ours is going in this week.
Interestingly though, one of the guys who came to give us a quote (and who got the sale because he turned up, was honest, very helpful, and very thorough) did tell us that if we wanted to rid the house of moisture and the like it was important to open windows and get some fresh air in. Part of our problem at the moment is two sprogs who won't open their windows and curtains.
We used to have a large woodburner in the lounge and ripped it out because although it was very effective, it was too much work and mess for me (no-one else helped). We were going to replace it with gas heating, but the aircon is not much dearer to install and is cheaper to run, plus we can use it in the muggy D'Auckland summers as well.
Something I learned from Mr Aircon was that there is a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric both making aircon units, but almost entirely separately. There is some info sharing, but they're different companies.
