Cooling Post hits record 34,000 visits

The Cooling Post achieved a new record of over 34,000 visits in February and confirmed its leading role as a source of air conditioning and refrigeration news and information.

The total of 34,086 was over 8% up on the previous best in August 2016 and over 25% up on the corresponding month last year.

“Considering February is a short month the figures are particularly pleasing,” said Cooling Post editor Neil Everitt. “Not wishing to be considered greedy, but if the ancients hadn’t been quite so mean with February we could have recorded around 38,000 visits.”

One of the best ways of keeping up with the news is by subscribing to the twice-weekly Cooling Post Newsletter. It’s completely free and unlike most sign ups we do not allow third parties access to our lists, so you will not be inundated with spam as a result.
