AerFresco Condensate tank

After several requests from the customers of our AerFresco outdoor patio cooler/heater, we can now provide a heavy duty, colour coded condensate tank as a standard option.

Options - Heating

Historically Patio Heaters have used environmentally unfriendly Gas as its method of providing its heat.
The AerFresco CP7 patio cooler/heater only uses Infra Red technology as its method of heating.
The old fashioned method of using gas as the source of heat suffers from two major disadvantages;

1) Environmental – gas is expensive to produce and ship and together with its pollution (smelly) issues, it is now considered totally unnacceptable in many parts of the World and is about to be …

Search engines

Now please don’t call Spacebreeze ungrateful but following our last article referring to patio cooler catagorisation – we have now made it to page 2 under “patio coolers” – hooray.
Nothing wrong with this at all as the AerFresco patio, deck or outdoor dining area cooling system does actually cool down these areas and their occupants, not food or drinks (it can also provide Infra Red heating, if specified).
But why, we ask ourselves, have we also been moved from page 2 of the patio, deck or …

Patio coolers

If any one from Google is out there, can you explain why “patio heaters” are catagorised as patio heaters in the Google search engine, not patio heating?
The Aerfresco patio cooler (with misting and heating options) which actually does cool a patio or deck or dining area as opposed to just food and drink, is catagorised as patio cooling?
Your “ers” and “ings” need to be looked at.

Eating "al fresco"

One of life’s more accessible pleasures is eating good food and socialising with friends and colleagues whether formally at a restaurant or informally at home.
If the weather is suitable, this event can be enhanced by eating “al fresco” or outside either at a nice hotel or at home in your yard or garden or BBQ area.
However, in many parts of the world the summer poses problems of sun exposure and torrid heat thus eliminating the “al fresco” option.
In the Middle East for example, where alc…

"Patio Cooling" v "Patio Cooler"

It would seem that the majority of search engines such as “Yahoo”, “Bing” and “ASk Jeeves” have decided that the AerFresco patio cooler or patio cooling system is to be designated as the latter.
We are very pleased to announce that the SpaceBreeze AerFresco is now on the first page of these search engines, only Google appears to be missing our activity and we will continue to monitor them all to see where we turn up next, “patio coolers”, “patio cooling”, outdoor cooling" or “deck cooler”.

What does the AerFresco do, exactly

The most common complaint we receive is that of finding the product when you use a search engine like, “Google” or “Yahoo” or “Ask Jeeves” or “Bing”.
If you put in “patio coolers” or “deck coolers” you end up with pages of outdoor drinks cooler products.
If, on the other hand you put in “outdoor cooling”, “patio cooling” or “deck cooling” – all you get is pages and pages of misting products and they won’t do at all.
The AerFresco can provide an umbrella from which cool air can be directed …

Patio or Deck cooling

Patio or Deck cooling systems primarily use misting or misters. The spray mist, if it is not possible to be delivered directly into the area to be “cooled” will have to use an inevitably noisy, fan.
In order to work its magic, the spray, requires to be incredibly fine, like a fog rather than a mist.
If it isn’t then the area that is being “cooled” becomes uncomfortably humid and this is in “normal” outdoor areas – when, as in the Middle East, the outdoor area (either a patio or deck) is al…

Giving Smokers a chance

When the AerFresco CP7 patio or deck or dining area cooler or cooling system was originally designed we believed that the heating option would a useful option but largely overlooked.
However, as more and more countries are banning cigarette smoking indoors it means that smokers, now have to go outside to enjoy a puff or two.
