Scottsdale, Arizona – As the temperatures in Arizona continue to soar, residents now have an option to mitigate the oppressive heat through a new company, Cool Relief Rentals, which provides portable air conditioning units for rent. The business, launched by Hannah Perrine, an Arizona State University graduate, aims to alleviate the discomfort faced by families and pets during the blistering summer months.
Perrine was prompted to start Cool Relief Rentals after her own experience with a delayed air conditioning repair during a heatwave that saw temperatures reach approximately 115 degrees Fahrenheit. While managing care for four pets, she struggled to find rental companies offering portable air conditioning units for residential use. This frustration sparked the idea for her company, co-founded with her mother, Elizabeth Hillestad, who has over 35 years of experience in marketing.
Cool Relief Rentals commenced operations in May and services a 30-mile radius around Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and North Phoenix. The company specializes in providing same-day delivery and installation of portable air conditioning units, which are particularly beneficial during the hot Arizona summers when traditional air conditioning systems may fail or require repairs. Customers typically rent between two to three units for durations of three to four days, with rental rates ranging from $30 to $70 per day, depending on the size and type of the unit.
The business’s core mission is to ensure the safety and comfort of individuals and pets amid challenging weather conditions. Given the rising prevalence of extreme heat, Cool Relief Rentals has become increasingly vital for numerous residents who experience summer air conditioning outages. Feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the quick response times and helpful customer service associated with their product offerings.
To maximize comfort, the company provides recommendations for the optimal placement of the units, particularly in bedrooms and main living areas. The installation process is tailored for each location to prevent complications, such as tripping breakers. Specialized window kits are utilized for the exhaust hoses to ensure efficient operation. However, the installation can face challenges, particularly in homes lacking adequate open windows or sliding doors.
In addition to its core services, the family business engages multiple members of Perrine’s family, including her fiancé and relatives, in installation, deliveries, and logistics tasks. This collaborative effort helps streamline operations and maintain a personal touch while serving clients.
Cool Relief Rentals is also dedicated to giving back to the community through its “Cool Homes, Safe Lives” initiative, which aims to donate air conditioning units to local heat-related efforts. The initiative plays a crucial role in supporting vulnerable populations during extreme heat situations.
As Arizona continues to experience exceptional heat conditions, the need for accessible cooling solutions becomes increasingly critical. To learn more about rental options and support the company’s mission, residents can reach out to Cool Relief Rentals directly for inquiries.
In light of the forecast, Scottsdale residents are reminded that morning rain showers are expected, transitioning to sunshine in the afternoon with high temperatures nearing 100°F. Winds will be WSW at 10 to 15 mph, with a 50% chance of rain. The evening will see a shift in weather, with scattered thunderstorms and cloudy skies after midnight, accompanied by a low temperature around 79°F.
