Built for UK homes & businesses
Don't shop for air conditioning during the heatwave. Reserve it before.
When the UK tops 30°C, decent units sell out and installers book solid. Coolhaven lets you reserve refundable priority access to portable AC delivery, professional installation or rental — for £10, credited toward your purchase.
- 100% refundable, anytime
- Credited toward your purchase
- No obligation to buy
Why now
British summers have changed. Most homes haven't.
Three facts worth planning around — no scare tactics, just the pattern of recent UK summers.
40.3°C
The UK's new record
Set in Lincolnshire in July 2022 — the first time the UK passed 40°C. The Met Office expects hot spells to keep getting more frequent and more intense.
Sold out
When everyone shops at once
Retailers routinely run out of decent portable units in the first days of a heatwave, leaving overpriced leftovers and long waits — exactly when you need cooling most.
Weeks
Typical installation lead time
Proper split-system installation needs a survey and a certified engineer. Book during a heatwave and you'll likely be cooled long after it's over.

Where we're launching first
We take reservations UK-wide, and we're transparent about what each area gets at launch: planned delivery zones, installation partner coverage, or register-interest status while demand builds. Your postcode tells you exactly where you stand.

Questions
Asked all the time
What exactly am I paying £10 for?
A priority reservation — your place in the queue for your postcode area. It is fully refundable at any time and credited in full toward your purchase if you go ahead. It is not a purchase and not a confirmed delivery or installation: we only ask you to commit once stock, final pricing and (for installations) a certified partner for your area are confirmed.
Is Coolhaven already delivering and installing?
Not yet — we're honest about this. We're validating demand across the UK right now, and reservations decide our first launch areas. That's exactly why the reservation is refundable: you're early, and being early should cost nothing if plans change.
Which areas will launch first?
Our planned first zones are Greater London, Manchester and Birmingham, expanding by demand. Check your postcode on the coverage page — it shows the honest status for your area: planned delivery zone, installation partners, or register-interest.
Why charge anything at all?
Free waiting lists are full of maybes. A small refundable commitment shows us where real demand is, which decides where we launch first — so priority customers get genuinely faster service. If we don't launch in your area, or you simply change your mind, your £10 comes straight back.
Who is behind Coolhaven?
Coolhaven is a UK-focused climate-comfort venture currently in its pre-launch phase, run by a small team with sourcing partnerships in Asia and installer partnerships forming across the UK. We're deliberately building in the open — what you see on this site is our real status.
