Air Conditioning Contractor

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Need to hire a Brisbane air conditioning contractor but don’t know where to find one? The yellow pages probably isn’t a bad option but with the proliferation of Internet websites you’d think that more than a couple of air con contractors would have twigged on and provided their contact details online. Often the best referrals come from word of mouth marketing. Most of the air conditioning contractors in Brisbane will tell you this for a fact.

Choosing an Air Conditioning Contractor Service

Things to look for when engaging a specialist air conditioning contractor include checking their credentials. You’d want to make sure they’re accredited by a trustworthy body and certified as a licensed contractor. You don’t want dodgy bros and co fiddling with your precious equipment, do you? I sure don’t.

Finding the Air Con Contractor to Suit Your System

Don’t go into the process of trying to find an air con contractor without doing the necessary due diligence of knowing exactly what it is you’re looking for and what you want them to do for you. Too many times have we witnessed contractors and clients not getting along because they failed to define the scope of the engagement prior to making a start on the work. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail and it’s as simple as that. Make sure you know what you want from your contractor because it will make everyone’s life the little bit sparklier.

Air Conditioning For Marquees

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Having an outdoor event and need to keep your patrons and party guests at a comfortable temperature? No worries, you just need to figure out the subject of air conditioning for marquees. How many times has it happened to you? You’ve got everything set up for your marquee party and then your entire entourage melts in the heat? Nobody wants to clean up that mess so you’d better get it sorted out ahead of time. Another common problem with air conditioning marquees is that it can get cold in the great outdoors, you may wish to warm things up a little to have a cool time. We all know Brisbane can get hot.Marquee

What is a Marquee and Where Does Air Conditioning Come Into Play?

The word marquee can be used to refer to many things but in this case we’re interested in those larger tents that people set up so they can enjoy the space of an outdoor setting without lending themselves vulnerable to quirks of nature. Marquis is an altogether different word and not pertinant to this discussion. The weather can be a fickle mistress at time, that’s where the marquee comes in handy. A portable or outdoor air conditioner can also help to keep things cool.

Traditional Pole Marquees - consist of canvas and more recently PVC, under tension by means of centre poles, side poles and guy ropes which are attached to ground stakes hammered into soft surfaces only such as a lawn or field. Hand made of white cotton canvas, traditional poled marquees are more attractive but much less practical and versatile than aluminium frame marquees. The modern PVC traditional pole marquee was introduced due to the material being easier to clean than woven canvas and giving them a longer hire life span.

Aluminium Frame Marquees - Aluminium frame tents have no centre poles or guy ropes, can be erected on any surface and adjacent to buildings or annexe tents. Much more stable and can span a much wider area over pools, flower beds or trees.

Typical 20′x20′ High Peak Frame Tent set up at Events Party & Tent Rentals for Demonstration

A newer category of the Marquee/Party tents is the High Peak Frame Tents (known by several brand names like “frame & cable”, “vista”, “pinnacle”, etc). These tents have the advantage of the pole tents with the high top, ease of installation, cleaner look, and fewer parts. They also have the advantage of the Frame Tents as they do not have support pole(s) on the inside of the tent that touches the ground. The high top look is accomplished by using a “floating pole”, which is a pole that sits on cables that run across the tent interior from the top of the sides. Most tent manufactures are now making these tents and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes that can be joined together to meet the needs of unique space requirements.

Now that you know what it is, you would be wanting to get your hands on some air conditioners so you can help regulate the air temperature and provide for a nice environment for you and your guests. You might consider leasing air conditioning or renting a portable air conditioner to satisfy your needs.

Air Conditioning Leasing

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Want to acquire an air conditioner for your home or business without the hassles of purchasing one outright? Perhaps air conditioning leasing is something you should consider. You might wish to get some financial advice as to the tax benefits of leasing and how that might affect your decision. Review your options before you do anything and take your current situation and economic climate before taking action.

Air Conditioner Lease Options

You will want to be aware of the contractual stipulations invoked when leasing air conditioners in Brisbane as you don’t want to get caught out on the fine print. Your air conditioner salesperson should be able to walk you through the details of your leasing contract but make sure you go over it a couple of times. If you’re really concerned about the legalities involved in leasing air conditioning units then you may wish to consider engaging a lawyer, or becoming a registered attorney yourself, so as to avoid be sold into a bum deal.

Portable vs Central Air Conditioning Leases

The make and model of the air conditioners you lease are up to you. It makes sense to lease a portable air conditioner if you’re planning on cooling or heating a given area for a finite period of time. That way you can just roll it back to the shop when you no longer need it. Central air conditioners might make more sense if you have an appropriate application for it.

What’s your experience with air conditioning leases? Had any trouble leasing an air conditioner?

Portable Air Conditioning Rental

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Having previously discussed the various benefits of portable air conditioning it is now worthwhile to investigate an alternative to purchasing such a system outright. In a lot of cases you might find it impractical to buy a portable aircon unit because you only need it for a finite period of time, like a few days, weeks or months or just for the weekend.

Portable Aircon: Rent or Buy?

If this sounds like your predicament then you’ll be pleased to know that a variety of service providers understand this need and thusly offer portable air conditioner rentals. Renting is frequently a more economical option for individuals and corporations. You only pay for the period that you require said air conditioners and without digressing into a lengthy discourse on the Lease vs Buy considerations of financial investment theory, let’s just say that there may be tax benefits to renting as opposed to purchasing outright.

What to Look For in Portable Air Conditioner Rentals?

Obviously, if you’re looking to rent a portable air conditioner you would want it to satisfy the following crucial requirements:

  1. It must be portable,
  2. It must condition the air in your environment i.e. be an air conditioner.

If these criteria are not met, you may as well be using a cinder block because you sure as heck haven’t been given a portable air conditioning rental!
