What are the best seasons to use home air conditioner?

Hi, I've bought a portable ac unit worth five hundred pounds recently and live in UK. It's a four in one model with dehumidifier, heater, fan and cool. It's brilliant! But although I know mine is all year round use, what seasons on average are all home ACs used in the west and what months? Just an estimate because seasons can be variable some time.

My mate wants to buy a model much cheaper but worried it might just get used for summer 3 months and dumped aside til next. From summer til autumn I'm still cruising with mine though (slow down a bit in autumn).

    You turn it on when it is hot. That varies everywhere. Mine runs almost year round and I wish I had bought one with a heater in it for those colder days and my lack of heat throughout my house. Mine runs constantly. I put it on whatever it is called where it only comes on when it needs to cool. I have low bills. We've just started having a bit cooler nights and the days have gone down into the 80's...that's pretty much fall here.

    Have you had your electric bill yet? There is a reason why people in the UK don't use these. It's the cost.
