Sometimes the coolest and most convenient places in our neighborhoods, can be a little too hot to handle in the UAE’s summer heat. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite at your favorite local restaurant, getting a fresh cut at the barbershop, or dropping off your laundry, there's nothing worse than breaking the summer sweat while you’re there.

Taqeef know cooling – and they’re on mission to bring instant comfort to 50 community stores by replacing their old, outdated air-conditioning units with brand new, energy-efficient O General Inverter split AC units with the environment friendly R32 refrigerant. These units deliver full-on cooling power, with zero ozone depletion, and are designed to keep your spaces cool and comfortable all summer long.

So, if you've got a favorite local spot that you just can't live without, but gets a bit hot and sticky, then let us know! We want to hear about the small businesses that you love, admire and appreciate, but wish had better air-conditioning. It's time to give back to the places that make your neighborhood special.

How? From 27-31 March, 2023, between 8-9am, tune in to the following radio shows on the Arabian Radio Network and send in your nominations through the SMS or WhatsApp number the show hosts share. You can nominate a small store, business or a not-for-profit establishment that you own or love and think would benefit from an AC upgrade, and explain why they deserve it.

Two winners will be selected on each radio station each day by the show host, over five days.
