Our Blog - Keep up with the fast moving pace of the air conditioning and heat pump world. It's just like being in a James Bond movie - well not really!!
Hello everyone - Some of the more internet savvy members of staff thought it would be just the thing to start a Blog to let the world know about the goings on at our little empire. Well to be quite honest folks it sounded to me a bit like asking people to pay to watch paint dry, anyway who am I to halt the march of progress, I’m off to listen to some “Pink Floyd" on vinyl. We hope you enjoy the unfolding saga of the heat pump and air conditioning world in the coming months.

Happy (belated) New Year. Although we are not suffering with flooding where we are we are definitely feeling the cold winds. So let me remind you of some nice ways to keep warm.... Christmas jumpers are out but nothing to stop you wearing your Onesie, or thermals and lots of layers, or log fires. Well all of the above are great ideas if you are at home but it could be a tad awkward explaining to the boss why you are wearing your onesie in the office, workshop or warehouse!!! Well a few of our suppliers offer a great range of fan heaters that saves any fashion faux pas at work.
Broughton heaters are British designed & manufactured and even offer an impressive 2 year warranty (compared to average 1 year elsewhere). We stock a wide range of their heaters with a price range of £226 (
Clarke International offers a good range also and these are a lot “lighter on the wallet”, their devil fan heater range starts at £59.90 (6002) right through to £190.00 for the

Hello readers well there are two things that you can be sure will be marching on, its time and the ever increasing cost of energy bills. As we have seen with this week’s rise in gas and electricity prices of nearly 10%. Of course as it’s now autumn, you have the “shall I put the central heating on dilemma”. This is the reason for the much greater interest in all things that can reduce your energy bills and save you money. You may wish to consider of our range of split heat pump systems to supplement your heating needs. We quite often find that people will invest in this technology to provide supplementary heating, reducing the need to put the main central heating system on. For instance one of the small multi split heat pump systems such as the
Other heating and keeping warm tips include wearing a woolly bobble hat and cardigan whilst watching the telly. Please be aware however you may have a knock on the door from the fashion police if you adopt such fashion practices.

New Mitsubishi range of air heat pumps
Hello world, we have some exciting news in the world of heating & cooling...... Mitsubishi has launched 3 new systems in the budget range (replacing the existing budget range). They have kept the same build quality & good energy efficiency, whilst continuing down the inverter pathway. These models replace the only two fixed speed systems that were still being produced by the company.
What can I tell you about purchasing one (or more) of these great products from us? Well we offer 3 years warranty and even better you get to chat to Captain Scarlet aka John – he is always full of useless sorry useful technical information.
The units offer the best of both worlds in that they cool in the summer (no matter how short or sporadic they may be) and heat in winter (which in recent years has been bitter & frosty) – brrrr I feel cold even thinking about winter brrrrr.
The systems themselves are SRK25ZMP-S,

Hello bloggers! Greetings once again from sunny Cheshire. I can’t quite believe that the sun is still shining – apart from sounding really old; it reminds me of childhood summers that seemed to stretch throughout the whole of the summer holidays and those last few weeks before breaking up for summer when we had classes outdoors. But over the last few summers, it just seems to be warm & sticky. The upstairs of our house has been unbearable and sleep has been difficult leading to very grumpy people. Since placing a free standing air conditioning unit on the landing it has been like a breath of fresh air (literally) the landing and all bedrooms have become bearable once more and sleep has been restored.

As a slightly bonkers Brit who loves to go camping, but likes a few home comforts like an electric kettle (so much quicker than camping stove, even if you miss out on the reminiscent whistle!) or an electric fan heater for either taking the chill off the tent on the typical damp drizzly evenings or provide a waft of cooler air if like now we are experiencing what can only be described as a wee bit of summer but (and that is a big but) don’t want to be tied down to the rigidity of electric hook up pitches then I can only recommend a generator.
The
It is a powerful, portable and economical unit that will automatically monitor the output load and matches the engine speed accordingly resulting in a quieter and more efficient generator (it also increases lifespan and reduces operating costs and let’s face it at times like this we all need a bit of reducing costs). The generator itself has a maximum output of 2.2kw, is a four stroke engine, has a 7litre fuel tank and has 7 hours running time and has 2 standard 13amp output sockets. It should support all of your electrical camping needs although I normally draw the line at taking the microwave, TV and dishwasher in our tent. Happy summer everyone

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

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

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
