Summer 2022, my flat hit 31°C during the heatwave. I called three AC installers – every quote came back over £2,500 for a split system. I’m renting, so the landlord said no anyway. Tried buying a portable unit at a big-box retailer: £650 for something with terrible reviews and a BTU rating that wouldn’t cool a cupboard. The good ones from known brands were either out of stock or grey-market imports with no UK warranty.
ACPorta exists because we couldn’t find a single option that combined proper cooling power, fair pricing, and genuine UK support. We source directly from manufacturers who use eco-friendly R290 refrigerant, test every unit for BTU accuracy and noise levels, and sell them for what they’re actually worth – not what desperate people will pay during a heatwave. Every unit comes with full UK warranty and spare parts availability.
We still test each model ourselves before stocking it. We still answer support emails the same day. And we still price like we’re competing on value, not on how hot it is outside.
