Mobile air conditioners are selling like hot cakes again

The heatwave is sweeping across the country, causing many people to suffer. According to an online retailer, there is once again a boom in the sales of mobile air conditioning units following the onset of the heat. Generally more efficient, but more expensive to purchase, permanently installed systems often require an unattainable permit and more lead time. Mobile air conditioning units, on the other hand, can be stored away again after the heat.

Heat once again boosts sales of air conditioning units

Manufacturers and sellers of mobile air conditioning units are pleased with good business. For example, the online retailer Galaxus sold more than three times as many units in June as in June of the previous year. By mid-year, the sales number of the entire previous year was surpassed.

Mobile monoblock units are the most popular. However, so-called mobile split units could also become a trend. They are quieter and more powerful than monoblock units, but generally more expensive. Permanently installed systems, on the other hand, are not sold online but by companies that also install them, such as installers.

Owners of air conditioning units getting younger

It is noticeable that the owners of air conditioning units are getting younger every year: Today, every third air conditioning unit goes to a person under 35 years old. In 2020, it was every fifth. A possible explanation: The topic of indoor climate is no longer just a concern for homeowners, but also for renters in the city. Of course, mobile units are also available in brick-and-mortar stores.
