Are we heading for an early spring?

So after a relatively busy month due to the cold spell, it looks as though things are really starting to get quite a lot warmer from now on, with average temperatures hovering around the 8/9 degree mark and central London areas getting up to the highs of 15/16 degrees, the mildest of the year so far. We have noticed an increase in the rental of humidifiers as well as currently humidity levels are quite low, even buildings that use heat pump technology to heat or cool via fixed air conditioning, are beginning to hire evaporative coolers or humidifiers to add some humidity to areas.

We have been contracting for west end art galleries, providing them with our portable hum evaporative cooler/humidifier to prevent paintings or paper posters and wood antiques from getting damaged.

With it being unseasonably warm for February, the number of service and maintenance contracts have shot up. It is beginning to reach temperatures for the usual end of March time of year, and everyone is wanting their fixed air conditioning units serviced ready in time for the summer. We would advise to start enquiring about service and maintenance contracts if you have not already as in this industry the warm summers get extremely busy, especially towards late May/early June as that is when everyone changes the temperatures on their thermostats and something ends up wrong as they haven't be used in cooling mode for a whole year. Once again though, London Cool and Midland Cool are always on hand to help with engineers covering all areas of the UK.

In the Midlands, our hum evaps, evaporative coolers and portable temporary humidifiers are adding humidity for factories who manufacture things like PCB boards.

Our new big port-a-cool evaporative coolers are cooling the car industry so maybe we need to start thinking about ordering some more in time for a humid spring and considering records show spring has advanced 2-6 days per decade, we better had get a move on!

It amazes us how our portable evaporative coolers, and portable humidifiers are now all-year-round rental products for cooling and humidifying.

My air conditioning is not working. What should I do?

As the outside temperatures rise and the sun is beating through the windows, it is tempting to turn your portable air conditioning down to as low as 16 degrees, thinking that the colder the air conditioner is set, the faster it will cool the room.  In fact, this is not how the cooling units work.  Whatever the temperature is set at, an air conditioner will pump out the same amount of cool air, and setting it at a lower temperature only tells it when to stop pumping out the cool air, rather than speeding up the cooling effect. The air conditioning units should ideally be set at around 24/25 degrees, to ensure that the units are not working so hard that they stop working altogether.  The models most affected by the hot temperatures are the Climatemaster, KY32, Trotec 2600, PKY12 or Compact 12, whereas units such as the Weltems, can cope with the exceptional temperatures. If your portable air conditioner does stop working or is not cooling the room, there are a few thi

The advantages of a maintenance agreement for your air conditioning

Regular air conditioner servicing has many benefits Increased efficiency of operation Reduced chance of a costly, major breakdown at the worst time Longer lifespan of the unit Increased comfort Lower operating costs Improved air quality Priority call-out Adherence to manufacturer’s extended parts warranty Energy Efficiency Regular air conditioner servicing can improve your air conditioner's efficiency. A clogged air filter in your air conditioning system can affect its efficiency as it will obstruct the air flow and increase the energy consumption.   A clean air filter in your room air conditioner, whether it is a ceiling recessed cassette system, or a ceiling suspended system, saves 15 percent energy compared with a dirty one.   Dirty condenser coils will make the air compressor run harder which increases the energy consumption and your electricity bill.   Lower Repair Costs If regular maintenance is not carried out, your air conditioner could eventu
