Air conditioning is becoming the most sought after commodity in the home and workplace, and seems to be the ideal solution in today’s changing weather conditions, thus seem to be full of the pros without any cons.

So exactly what are the pros. Air conditioning modifies the air quality indoors, to make it more comfortable and portable units seem to be the way forward for many households in the UK. Portable air conditioners simply absorb heat energy form one place and releases elsewhere. Used all year round in many offices and homes air conditioning regulates air quality, but is absolutely essential in the summer months to reduce the temperature and humidity levels in areas that need cooling.

Portable air conditioning units provide a cool air flow and do more than just dehumidify, and many units have special filters to remove small particles such as allergens from the air, thus is of benefit for those with allergies or asthma.

There are several benefits to air conditioning for example the unit’s cooling mode, offers accurate temperature control, and allows you to create the climate in which you feel comfortable. In heating mode, oh yes these units also offer heating, offering you the enjoyment of an ideal constant temperature throughout the year, remembering heating from a portable air conditioner is environmentally friendly compared to traditional heating simply because it takes energy from the outside and brings it inside.

Portable air conditioning produces clean, fresh and healthy air, most units are equipped with filters that catch dust, pollen, mould spores, also smoke and everyday dirt found in the air and perfect for those who suffer from allergic reactions.

Dehumidified air is a comfortable environment to be in and an air conditioner when in cooling mode does in fact dehumidify the air. A low humidity prevents dust mites and moulds growing and the answer for millions who suffer from allergies. A human being will feel most comfortable at humidity levels of 40 to 60%.

The perfect environment with the right temperature and a comfortable humidity can be created by air conditioning. It is also a proven fact that air conditioning can have a very positive effect on your personal performance; surveys show there is a connection between your personal performance and the temperature of your immediate surroundings.

A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists located on the South Coast of the UK said “certainly we are seeing more and more consumers chasing the perfect portable unit for their homes, with money so tight in this present financial climate a portable unit is perfect, and the customer does not have the expense of installation, just plug in and go. We do an immediate delivery if in stock, also we have a huge Web sale currently running, with different types of units with different cooling capacity, it all depends what area you are looking at to cool, go online and check the specifications of each model and cooling capacity and of course price is important we guarantee you will not find better”.

It is a fact that an air conditioned environment will improve your performance and energy levels, furthermore air conditioning prolongs the lifetime of equipment in your home or office.

Consumers who are worried about how they will afford this winter’s fuel bills could take steps to cut their energy consumption and therefore lower their outgoings, such as by investing in energy efficient central heating boilers.

Yvonne Goodwin, managing director of her own wealth management company, said householders could also reduce the cost of heating their home by being proactive.

“The first thing they should do is speak to their fuel supplier, whoever they have got their contracts with and let them know that they are struggling with it because they are all supposed to follow a code of practice, which means they won’t cut off their supply if they agree a payment plan with them and then they keep to it,” she said.

“The first thing they should do is first of all, open the envelopes, don’t try and ignore it because it won’t go away.”

Benefit recipients might also be able to manage their fuel bills better by asking for the cost of their utilities to come directly out of their benefit payments, she said.

Meanwhile, industry regulator Ofgem has announced that energy suppliers should clarify the information they give to their customers; a move which has been commended by uSwitch.com.

Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at the comparison site, commented: “Consumers have been crying out for simpler, clearer and easier bills and information from energy suppliers for years. Greater transparency will go some way to rebuilding trust and boosting consumer confidence and engagement in the market.”

She noted that Ofgem’s proposal to introduce a standing charge that will cover many of the fixed costs charged to customers will provide greater clarity, but warned it is “critical” these charges are fair.

“Given the push to encourage householders to use less energy it is vital that standing charges are not set at a level that will penalise low energy users. The amount covered through the unit cost should truly reflect the amount of energy used so that consumers will see a clear connection between energy efficiency and lower bills,” Ms Robinson added.

A gaming price comparison site and marketplace has today launched the UK’s first free ‘match’ service for those wishing to swap games online; matching ‘owned’ games with other users’ wish lists, in order to make swapping games as easy as possible.

An online gaming marketplace has today launched a new feature to make swapping games online easier than ever; providing gaming fans with a simple, and completely free, means of swapping their unwanted video games with other users for titles they really want.

The ‘Match Me’ function, launched today by www.Playr2.com, is a free of charge service that automatically matches games owned by members of the Playr2.com marketplace with users who have the game in question in their ‘wish list’. The function therefore ‘matches’ members with potential game swap opportunities, and is completely free of charge.

Members of the Playr2.com marketplace are able to search for, or scan-in, video games they currently own or want to add to their collection using the Playr2.com site or accompanying Smartphone app; whereby the games will automatically be added to their ‘Owned’ or ‘Wanted’ games lists. With the new function on-site, users can then hit the ‘Match Me’ button whereby Playr2.com will search members’ lists for suitable swaps to make with other users. As Playr2.com is constantly updating both trade-in and second hand prices for games, the site will help users to request ‘fair’ swaps, based on similar market prices.

Once a swap is agreed upon with users on-site, they can trade games completely free of charge via the Playr2.com site. Swaps will be shown in the marketplace section of the site, and both members will also automatically be entered into Playr2.com’s monthly and annual prize draws for simply completing a free swap.

The ‘Match Me’ function aims to make updating video game collections as cheap and easy as possible; and is the only site in the UK currently offering the service completely free of charge. Simon Kilby, Founder of www.Playr2.com, commented on the launch of ‘Match Me’:

“We launched Playr2.com with the aim of making gaming as cheap as possible for people, by letting them know where they can get the cheapest deals on new, used, trade-in and even swapped games online. With ‘Match Me’, we aim to go one step further in keeping your video game collection up-to-date as easily as possible by ‘matching’ Marketplace members with potential fair swaps on offer; and, as it’s free, it really couldn’t be simpler.”

He continued:

“Most video game fans will have games sitting on their shelf that they’ve either completed or haven’t played for years, and these can easily be traded to update collections with games that are actually wanted. Chances are someone will be after the game that you can’t stand the sight of anymore, and with ‘Match Me’, we aim to make finding these people as simple as possible!”

Snow during the week leading up to Christmas can be troublesome for couriers and customer alike. Now however, the chances of a white Christmas have been slashed as it appears that the UK may be in for one of the warmest Christmas days on record. The last days leading up to the holiday should also stay relatively mild, which will please late Christmas shoppers says online transport marketplace Shiply.
Not content with the explosion of digital commerce conducted over the past weeks some online retailers are accepting Christmas delivery orders as late as the 23rd via express or next-day. Other stores are offering the proviso that timely deliveries are weather-dependant however it seems as though it shouldn’t pose a problem this year.
Last-minute festive shoppers’ concerns of hostile conditions delaying deliveries or high street visits have seemingly been allayed. Forecasters have all but ruled out a white Christmas as tropical air could bring temperatures as high as 14C to the country and even 12C in Scotland which plummeted to a frostbitten -18C last year. The north experienced bleak weather last week, ruling out deliveries and causing traffic chaos, it appears now however that transport firms will be able to continue a normal service owing to less severe weather conditions.
Robert Matthams, Managing Director of Shiply (www.shiply.com), the online marketplace with a network of more than 40,000 transport and removal companies, spoke about the benefits of a mild holiday season.
“While it might not feel quite so much like Christmas, the warmer weather is actually a blessing for the last minute shopper. With so many opting to shop online and relying on a trusty man with a van to do the legwork for them it’s fortunate that the weather this year will allow delivery services to work right up until the last minute.”
