As many city workers will tell you, cities can be very hot places during the summer. On warm summer days, the air in a city can be 6-8°F hotter than its surrounding areas. Scientists call this the “Urban Heat Island Effect”.
The ideal temperature for people working in an office is expected to be 72°F (22.2°C): performance is believed to degrade about 1% for every 2°F change in room temperature. The KwikCOOL hire units provide a perfect solution to this growing problem.
Many businesses can be caught out by fixed installation failures: Watkins Hire have provided contingency planning to many of the UK’s largest companies.

KwikCOOL prices do not increase as the weather gets hotter!!!!"Extreme heat is dangerous to everyone.
During a heatwave, when temperatures remain abnormally
high over more than a couple of days, it can prove fatal,
particularly among certain at-risk groups.
In one hot spell in London in August 2003, deaths among
people aged over 75 rose by 60 per cent"
