Hello fans of our blog, here we are once again and it’s Friday. Britain’s most popular dish will be bought in its millions no doubt tonight (Chicken Tikka Masala) a nice bottle plonk, and the hire of a video to watch on telly. As you can see I am off a certain age and remember that ritual. I bet Blockbuster wishes we are still in the age of going out to hire videos. They say its all progress but from experience ask an under 30 to navigate around Britain without a Satnav, and they wouldn’t have a clue (No Reading is not next to Inverness)

Anyway enough of this, I’m not here to waffle but to try and persuade you lot to buy some of our tantalising heat pump and air conditioning products. Yes its exciting I know. Now if you have one of those glass things bolted to the side of your house you might be interested in this offering, the Fujitsu AGYF09LA floor mounted air conditioner and heat pump. Not only will it keep the glass thing bolted to the side of your house warm in winter, but it can also cool when you have the one day of summer due in 2013.

This week’s romantic tip! Never forget valentines again, why not invest in 12 plastic red roses. After the great event just store them in the loft and a quick hose down each year. This marvellous annual gift is sure to endear you to your beloved.

Well here we are in February and I hope all you people that said you were going to give up something pleasurable for January, stuck to it. Yahoo it’s the 1st of February so I can once again have a glass of wine. Just in case you are looking for a bestselling book for your partner for a birthday maybe, we have the ideal solution. You can download our free Heat Pump Guide and present this to them gift wrapped of course.

Our heat pump guide covers fascinating subjects such as how they work and how heat pumps can be run more efficiently. I word of caution though we suggest you supplement this fantastic present with a little extra present, maybe a weekend away in Monte Carlo. Today's relationship advice: Always node your head in agreement and just do what you were going to do anyway.

A belated happy new year to all the thousands of people that read the blog, only joking at the end of the day we can appreciate that reading such items can range from the interesting - to as exciting as doing the tax return. Well lucky you as I am now here to fill your day full of excitement. As a write to you we have encountered the first cold spell of weather this winter. we have a varied range of heating devices that will certainer stop you from getting to cold. In the top of the pops style I shall recommend to fine heating systems to you.

Number one - if you have a factory or workshop that your freezing you socks off (the polite way of saying it), you might want to consider one of our range of propane space heaters, they come in all sizes with varying heat outputs.

The second option if you not to excited about the first, take a look at out range of Mitsubishi wall mounted heat pumps, these are great for economically heating small to medium sized business premises.

Does anyone remember the Moody Blues song “forever autumn”, which probably sums up this time of year? Yet again the great British summer has been a great British disappointment. Thank goodness they invented those things called aeroplanes, so at least you can zoom off somewhere to find the sun.

If you are starting to feel the cold and considering digging out your long johns take a look at our heating products, many different models are available to suit all tastes as they say.  One of our best-selling makes is Clark who offers a range of heaters which are mainly suited for commercial use. For instance the Clarke propane space heaters are popular for heating industrial units with their clean high heat output, the Clarke 1250 model is a very popular middle range model. You can browse through the full range of propane space heaters to find the right one to heat your premises, or you can talk to us and we can recommend from the information you give the correct model. This will hopefully save you having to put on your long johns to early.

Good news fans the yellow thing in the sky has made an appearance and it may stay around for a week.  It's all us Brits crave a bit of warmth from the yellow globe every now and again, and of course the chance to bear our milk bottle legs to other unsuspecting members of the public. There are I believe products to change you in one fell swoop from White to bronze and anywhere in between. I would caution though some of the cheaper products seem to turn you into the aftermath of a nuclear accident and into an orange tinted colour. (I see no reason why we can't offer lifestyle tips on the blog as well.)

If you do feel the need for some instant cooling we can offer you a few solutions. Well firstly what about a Fan to provide cooling, it's cheap and offers relieve. Ok you’re not satisfied with that and demand to spend more money, two options spring to mind. We sell a range of portable air conditioners, but remember the exhaust hose thing needs to go out of window etc. Another option is an evaporative cooler - I can read your thoughts already (what’s one of those) it's a form of cooling that doesn’t involve the hose thing out of the window. It's a cooling unit that blows air over a wet surface inside the machine to provide cool air - circa technology from the ancient Greeks but it works. Ok time to go life style tip 2. Always best to cook the sausages higher up on the barbie, your guests will prefer them cooked not just cremated on the outside.

Good Bye -Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Hello the world Captain Scarlet here. You need to be of a certain age to appreciate the said captain, in the days when TV was far simpler. From memory the Mysterons consisted of someone shining a torch on to a plain background to give the scary effect of the unseen force, well it scared me anyway. Of course these were the days when the biggest possible telly you could get was 22” and if you wanted remote control that would consist of someone with a long stick, pushing the chunky buttons on the front of the telly from the sofa.

Going off on a complete tangent we have some good news people, we have started selling the Broughton range of fans (those things that blow air out), yes I can see you’re falling over with excitement. As we’ve said before we like the boys and girls at Broughton as there down to earth types and a British company that actually makes something in this country. Now these are not some “Big Girls Blouse” types of fan, but well engineered things with lots of oomph. The range starts at the Broughton MB30 model, right up to the MB2000 Unit. So if you have a cooling or ventilation requirement take a look at these models.

Good Bye -Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

You always know in good old blighty once they say were in a drought it's not going to stop raining. It's certainly been the case for April this year, well I suppose it would be a bit boring if the sun shines every day, if only I here you say. Obviously were here to try and persuade you to buy millions of pounds of our marvellous goods so one thing you might want to consider is one of our wall mounted heat pumps and air conditioners. So where might one stick this marvel of modern technology, steady sailor. Well those glass things that us Brits like to bolt to the side of the house, yes the conservatory are ideal living spaces for an air source heat pump and air conditioner. You can heat and cool cheaply to your hearts content, so you can use your glass room all year round.

Good Bye -Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Hello the world, well we have had a bit of a break with regards the blog so its time to restart and let the world know about what has been going on in the empire again. As always we shall try and keep this light hearted and not drone on just about air source heat pumps etc. My good lady thinks it’s a subject populated by the same people who stand on the end of the platform at Birmingham New Street, with a notebook (well what does she know), luckily she isn’t an avid reader of the pulsating drama that is our blog.
 
One thing we might do in the future is have a top 10 of the best sellers at different times of the year. A top of the pops for air conditioning and heat pumps, well that sounds exciting. Our best seller at the moment has to be the range of swimming pool heat pumps. You can understand why as you’re generally not going to buy one in October at the end of the season. For you lucky people that have a swimming pool it’s certainly the cheapest way of heating one, unless of course your hardcore and want to use it without heating.

Good Bye -Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Attention all Business Owners and Managers,

Are you ready, are you really ready....for the onset of winter next week ?  After one of the mildest Novembers on record, December is going to start with a chilly spell if all of the weather girls are to be believed.  If your office, warehouse or other business premises are a bit on the cold side this week, then your workers are going to be knocking on your door next week !!  You could, of course, purchase corporate thermal underwear, complete with company logo, but wouldn't it be easier to order some extra form of heating ?

This is where we come in.  We sell all manner of heating systems: air-to-air heat pumps, all forms of industrial heaters to cater for most sizes of business premises, and the quintessentially English range of cast iron stoves and wood burners.  Most systems, heaters and stoves are available for delivery within 2 to 3 working days, with free delivery to a mainland UK address.

Right, listen up you lot.  I've had a chat with Mystic Meg, swapped emails with Russell Grant, and I've been studying the tea leaves for a few weeks now.  I've also been studying the berries on trees and the co-axial directional flow of cowpats.  It's official - we are going to have a bad winter again this year.  Remember, you had it confirmed here first !! 

So, what better time to organise some new or improved heating in your house, office, warehouse, shop, salon, restaurant, holiday home, church, conservatory or canal boat.  We can supply everything for residential properties and small to medium size businesses.  In respect of combined heating and air-conditioning, we sell the full range of air-to-air heat pumps (wall-mounted, floor-mounted, ceiling mounted, ceiling cassette, ducted systems).  For purely heating purposes, we sell most types of heaters (industrial electric, commercial halogen, diesel/paraffin, propane gas, ceramic). 

And for aesthetic beauty and for keeping in touch with our heritage, we now sell a full range of cast iron / wood burning stoves.  These modern built, old-fashioned looking stoves really are the 'mutts nuts'.  Just imagine coming home on a cold winter day and roasting some chestnuts on the grill of your wood burning stove, whilst watching the flames flickering in the distance.  Throw in a glass of warm mulled wine, and it makes you wish winter was here already. 

If you need any assistance in deciding which is the best option for your property, then give us a call on 0161-4857907.  Alternatively, if you live in the Cheshire / South Manchester area, or are passing by, then why not pop into our showroom and have a look for yourself, at Big Storage, SK8 6PT.

Remember,  you had it confirmed here first !!

Howard (Office Manager).
