Residents of Novosibirsk are increasingly seeking relief from the heat by purchasing air conditioners, with some stores reporting a surge in demand for these cooling devices. This trend has prompted many to consider buying fans and air conditioners to combat the rising temperatures.

Sales consultants in local appliance stores have observed that air conditioners are particularly popular this year, with some retailers noting that customers have been purchasing them since November 2023. While fans are also available, the demand for them appears to be lower compared to air conditioners.

The price range for fans typically falls between 1,500 to 10,000 rubles, while air conditioners can range from 15,000 to 35,000 rubles, with some models reaching prices of 50,000 to 60,000 rubles. The increased demand has led to prominent displays of fans and climate control products in stores.

Stores offer a variety of cooling solutions, including split systems, which consist of indoor and outdoor units, and floor-standing air conditioners that require venting through a window.
