What a way to wrap up a hectic summer at Andrews Sykes! Over a period of three days, our dedicated engineers and driving team delivered 200 Polar Wind portable air conditioning units to the Marriott Hotel in Central London.

The main cooling system in the hotel had stopped working earlier in the week, resulting in a flood of orders from the hotel: 50 units on Tuesday, another 50 on Wednesday, and 100 more on Thursday. Our team rallied to fulfil the entire 200 unit order before the weekend, ensuring the hotel could continue hosting guests in comfort.

Why consider hiring an air conditioning unit this summer?

As the summer months approach, facilities managers and decision makers start to worry about how they will keep their staff and customers cool in hot weather.

If you only need an air conditioner for a short period of time, due to fleeting season demand, for instance, then hiring may represent a better choice than committing to a purchase. With a rental agreement, you’re not tied into a long-term commitment and need not be concerned with storage, installation, or other potential perceived inconveniences.

To help with the smooth implementation of this process, the government has assigned hotels in all major cities to be specifically used as quarantine centres.
