Power for your AC
Large units need a proper supply. If the site power is not enough, we size a silent generator to run the AC and deliver both together.
Temporary AC rental
Temporary AC rental covers the gap when central air conditioning fails, a fit out is not handed over yet, or an event needs cooling for a day. We supply temporary air conditioning rental by the day, week or month, and a temporary AC unit rental can usually be delivered the same day in Dubai.
Portable air conditioner rental
For rooms, offices and server rooms, portable air conditioner rental is the quickest fix: a portable AC unit rental plugs into a normal socket and vents through a window panel. We stock portable aircon rental units from 1.5 to 2.5 ton, and 5 ton portable air conditioner rental units for warehouses and kitchens.
