Whether you’re tackling a summer heatwave in the office, arranging a one-off event, or just looking to keep cool all year round, portable air conditioner hire is an option to consider.

When most people think of AC, they jump to installation first, but that’s not the only option. In this article, we explain why you should consider hiring before you buy and why we think it’s often the better solution!

The Benefits of Portable Air Conditioner Hire

No Upfront Purchase Cost

Firstly, there’s no denying that installing air con is costly. Split air con installation costs from £800 – £2500 for a single room. That adds between £6500 – £9500 for a whole house (The Page). 

These numbers are a fraction of what it costs to install air con in a commercial building. Portable air conditioner units involve no upfront purchase cost. Our hire prices start from as little as £8.40 a week*, making them an affordable way to keep cool.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

If you install permanent air conditioning, another factor to consider the maintenance costs. Most units should be serviced at least once a year. Commercial systems often need servicing more often than this.

In contrast, our rented air conditioner units are serviced and maintained by us, at no extra cost. This also gives you peace of mind that the unit will always be operating at maximum efficiency. It’s our responsibility to maintain the unit, so you’ll always get the best service.

Targeted Cooling

Only need to cool one room? Want to be able to move the unit around? Both of these things are possible with portable air conditioner units. As long as you have a window or false ceiling to vent through, our air con units can be moved around your premises. We can also supply extra long hoses, if you need them.

Save on Storage Costs

Buying portable air con units means finding somewhere to store them when not in use. Portable AC hire, on the other hand, means you can hand back the unit as soon as you no longer need it. This can save on storage costs and help maintain a clutter-free home or workspace.

Access to the Latest Units

If you choose portable air conditioner hire, you’ll always have access to the latest units. At Chilly Pepper Hire, we’re always updating our fleet of portable air conditioner units, ensuring we have the best products to offer our customers.
