Frequently asked questions
What size portable air conditioner do I need?
As a rule of thumb, a small bedroom (up to ~15 m²) needs around 7,000–9,000 BTU, a large bedroom or small living room ~9,000–12,000 BTU, and a large open living space 12,000–14,000+ BTU. AirconWatch only tracks proper refrigerant portable air conditioners of 5,000 BTU and above - no evaporative coolers or fans. See the full portable air conditioner size guide.
Which UK retailers does AirconWatch track?
15 UK retailers: Currys, Argos, Screwfix, B&Q, John Lewis, AO.com, Appliances Direct, Toolstation, Wayfair, eBay, Machine Mart, Costco, Air Con Centre, Aircare and Voltage Models. Most are checked for national delivery; Argos and Screwfix are also checked for click & collect stock at stores across the UK.
How often is stock checked?
Delivery retailers are checked every 15 minutes, around the clock. Screwfix click & collect stock is swept nationwide every 30 minutes, and Argos click & collect roughly every 90 minutes.
How do I get restock alerts?
Follow the free Telegram channel @AirconWatchUK for instant restock alerts with no signup, or subscribe to the RSS feed. Email alerts are also available when the mailing list is open.
Do you track price changes?
Yes. When demand spikes in a heatwave, some retailers take advantage and quietly push prices up - so every time we check stock (every 15 minutes) we also record each in-stock unit's price, and the dashboard shows exactly who moved and by how much over the last 24 hours and 7 days. A unit that jumps in price gets a clear rise badge, and meaningful price drops are posted free to our Telegram channel. We can only see prices while a retailer lists a unit, and we track products, never people.
