Frequently Asked Questions

Portable air conditioning is a convenient, easy, mobile solution when your main air conditioning system fails, when you have planned system maintenance or if you require temporary cooling in a new location. It can be delivered to your premises and runs effectively and efficiently, causing minimum disruption to the environment.

Do you have a scheduled maintenance on your air conditioning in your server room? Has the air conditioning system broken down in your office? Shopping Centre? Warehouse? Do you have an event and you need to keep your guests comfortable? When temporary air conditioning and heating solutions are required, Aircon Rentals is your answer.

Refrigerated Air conditioning circulates dehumidified, refrigerated cooled air. It requires closed doors and windows for maximum efficiency and can be used in any application. Evaporative cooling continually draws fresh air from outside, tries to cools it down and adds water to the air (humidifies). Evaporative cooling makes the conditioned space humid, It also losses effectiveness after extended periods of operation. Evaporative cooling is not reverse cycle. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. The Aircon Rentals team will discuss your particular needs and whether refrigerated or evaporative cooling would work best for you.

Depending on the size of unit that is required, most times the unit is wheeled into position and plugged into a normal power point. The ducting is put through either a window or ceiling space (if false ceilings are installed) and then the unit can be switched on. If it is a more involved installation, a detailed installation poutline would be given.

There are a number of ways in which Aircon Rentals could cool (or heat) a marquee. The use of the Hi Wall Spilt unit is easy to deliver and install and all that is seen is the “head” of the air conditioning unit. The other way is via fabric ducting that would run along the internal gable of the marquee, entering the structure on the end panel. One entry point for the ducting is usually all that is required, and the ducting has a choice of colours (white, grey, black) and looks like an inflated circular balloon.
