How’s THIS for an email on a Thursday afternoon, during one of the hottest days of the year and in the middle of our 5th heatwave?! 🥵☀️

Demand has been record breaking and patience has had to be found but so worth it when we get to make people this happy! 🥰

Big well done to our lovely boys — clearly a job very well done! ❤️

Just as was mentioned yesterday …. if it appears too good to be true ….. it probably is.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said some companies are exploiting demand for portable AC units, making exaggerated claims that lure desperate customers in

🚨Public Service Announcement 🚨

I’ve seen so many online adverts recently for “revolutionary” air conditioning units that claim to be:
❄️Plug-in only (no installation)
❄️No exhaust hose
❄️No outdoor unit
❄️No refrigerant gas
❄️Incredibly cheap to run (“the same as a laptop”)
❄️On special offer for around £140 with a money-back guarantee

Please don’t be fooled. These products are generally not true air conditioners — they are essentially glorified fans.

Why❓
Because cooling a room requires heat to be removed from the room and rejected elsewhere. That’s not an opinion — it’s basic physics and the laws of thermodynamics.

A genuine air conditioning system must have a way to get rid of the heat, whether that’s through:
❄️An outdoor condenser unit (split system)
❄️An exhaust hose vented outside (portable AC)
❄️Another engineered heat-rejection system

If a device claims to cool a whole room without any of these, be very sceptical.

🧐 If someone had genuinely invented a cheap, hose-free, ultra-efficient air conditioner, companies such as Mitsubishi , Daikin, Panasonic, and even Dyson would be all over it. ⚡️Governments and environmental agencies would be promoting it as a major energy-saving breakthrough.

💸 So is £140 worth a punt because it has a money-back guarantee?

In my opinion: No. ❌
The guarantee may cover whether the unit powers on — not whether it performs the miraculous cooling implied by the advert.

❄️IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE …. IT PROBABLY IS!! ❄️

Stay cool — and save your money for a proper solution if you genuinely need air conditioning.

The heatwave isn't letting up, and neither are the enquiries, breakdowns, and repair requests. ☀️❄️

Our team is working as hard as possible to respond to everyone and get to you as quickly as we can. We really appreciate your patience during this exceptionally busy period.

We're also seeing industry-wide supply issues, with many of our suppliers reporting shortages of air conditioning units. Unfortunately, this means lead times for new installations are currently longer than our usual high standard of service.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support—we'll get you cool as soon as we can. 💙

🔥 When the heatwave hits… so do the calls!
Phones ringing, inbox pinging — we’re practically the emergency services for cooling and refrigeration!

Our small but mighty team is working flat out to keep homes and businesses comfortable again. If we take a little longer than usual to reply, please know it’s not because we’re ignoring you — it’s because we’re knee-deep in quotes, installs, and rescue missions for overheated systems!

💨 Thanks for your patience and understanding — we’ll get back to you as soon as we can (preferably before the next heatwave starts 😅).
