The Best Air Conditioning Units For Your Home This Summer

news Friday, 8 March 2024

2023 was the second warmest year in the UK on record! Although Summer may seem a distant memory, it's a time when millions of Brits enjoy the sunshine and warmth - but sometimes that heat can be uncomfortable when we're inside. Luckily, there are simple solutions to this problem!

We still consider ourselves to be sun-starved in comparison to our European neighbours, but in 2023 we dashed out to the high street to snap up inflatable swimming pools to keep cool, which saw a spike in sales by over 1400%. Who doesn’t like a quick dunk to cool off?

With UK Summers getting hotter year on year, how are you planning to keep cool in these Mediterranean temperatures for Summer 2024?

We’ve all got that noisy, old, dusty, tabletop fan that we share & fight over at bedtime, but there are cost effective options that help you to stay cool throughout the day, and sleep soundly throughout the night, with a breath of fresh air.

UK Summers are no longer random isolated days, our Summers are longer, and they are hotter! We need to stay cool, and stay comfortable.
