Frequently asked questions

Where is aircon in stock in the UK right now?

This page is the live answer: it lists every portable air conditioner under £1,200 currently in stock across 19 UK retailers, monitored around the clock with faster checks in warm weather. Argos and Screwfix click & collect availability is mapped near you. Telegram and RSS alerts remain live year-round, while any seasonal email pause is shown clearly near the top of the page.

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?

19 UK retailers: Currys, Argos, Screwfix, B&Q, John Lewis, AO.com, Appliances Direct, Toolstation, Wayfair, eBay, Machine Mart, Costco, Air Con Centre, Aircare, Voltage Models, Nisbets, DeLonghi, Devola and Meaco (all direct brands). 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 stock is monitored around the clock. The fastest checks run more frequently in warm weather and at a reduced cadence in winter. Screwfix click & collect stock is swept nationwide every 30 minutes, and Argos click & collect roughly every 90 minutes.

The eBay buying guide covers how to spot a good listing.

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 we also record each currently orderable unit's price, including clearly labelled pre-orders, 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.
