ATL Connect

Kingston, Jamaica, December 16, 2021: In the true spirit of the season of giving, the ATL Automotive and Appliance Traders Limited Group of companies combined forces to spread holiday cheer to over 200 underserved children at four homes within the Kingston & St. Andrew area. The residents of Glenhope Nursery, Jamaica National Children’s Home, Maxfield Park Children’s Home and the Salvation Army’s Nest Children’s Home were the recipients of a multitude of new toys, gifted from the ATL Group through its annual, charity initiative, held in collaboration with the Sandals Foundation.

 

Group Marketing Manager at ATL Automotive, Christina Taylor shared, “While we work with several organisations throughout the year on varied sponsorship and charitable executions, our annual Christmas treat is one that’s very near and dear to us. It allows us to connect with many disadvantaged youths in a way that encapsulates the spirit of the holidays.”

 

Taylor also described the event as meaningful, emphasising, “the visits are planned to facilitate sufficient time for us to truly engage each and every one of these children. We allot a morning or afternoon where we can sit, interact and serve them, which allows us to view first-hand the impact this simple act of kindness has on each individual child. The smiles on their faces when unwrapping their presents, the laughter felt when they excitedly explore a new toy and their genuine gratitude, not only make this activity rewarding, but very well worth the effort to execute it.”

 

According to the Salvation Army’s Nest Children’s Home “It was much appreciated and the children are enjoying their gifts,” shared Captains Karen and Keith Haughton at the Salvation Army Nest Children’s home.

 

“The children received their heart’s desires. We’re thankful to the team at ATL for bringing Christmas forward to our nation’s children,” said Assistant Manager a

As any Jamaican mum can tell you, being pregnant in the heat and humidity of the Caribbean isn’t always a pleasant experience. In fact, it can be unbearable! When you consider the natural biochemical reactions that occur during pregnancy, it’s normal for your home to seem hotter than it actually is when you’re expecting. According to leading health web site, WebMD, heat, and humidity tend to take ‘a greater toll on pregnant women due to a degree of ‘heat intolerance’.  So if you’re expecting a beautiful bouncing baby while Jamaica’s expecting one of the hottest summers in years, maybe it’s time to add air conditioning to your list!

 

Thankfully, the forthcoming air-conditioning sale from ATL, Jamaica’s leading air conditioning company couldn’t be more timely and with its wide range of air conditioning brands and products, there’s something to suit any budget or need. Justin Morin, Managing Director of ATL commented, “A blazing hot summer and more time working and schooling from home means affordable and effective air conditioning in the household is more important than ever and even more so if you’re expecting a baby! This year, we wanted to create genuine excitement in the marketplace and create an initiative that directly addresses people’s air conditioning needs as well as offering peace of mind in an ever-changing post-pandemic environment.” The ATL “Chill a Yuh Yaad” promotion features exceptional, one-off pricing on ATL’s complete range of inverter and non-inverter air conditioning systems from the value-conscious Prizm brand, the award-winning range from Panasonic units right the way through to the beautifully-designed collection from LG.

In a post-pandemic world with quarantines, lockdowns, and extra time spent indoors, a heightened awareness around air quality and viruses, have caused many to place added attention on ventilation as a way to minimize the spread of COVID-19 as well as protect themselves and their families against freak weather such as the Saharan dust storms which regularly engulf the Caribbean region.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the risk of the spread of the virus is higher in crowded and poorly ventilated spaces where people spend long periods of time together in close proximity. Improving indoor ventilation can reduce the risk of the virus spreading indoors. Research by The Porter and Chester Institute, a US based technical school, outlined how air conditioning units works in relation to improved indoor ventilation. The first element to be acknowledged is that air conditioners do not draw fresh air from outside into the area they are trying to cool. Split AC units use a condenser, located in the outside unit, and an evaporator, located in the inside unit. The air within the target area is drawn into the inside unit, filtered, and cooled by a temperature exchange by the refrigerant filled evaporator. The refrigerant warms and is moved to the outside unit, where it is converted back into a liquid to begin the process over again. Most air conditioners have basic filters that capture dust and fine particles in the air, which would be from the area where the AC unit is located. Some filters are even removable. According to The Porter and Chester Institute the effectiveness of the filter, if so equipped, is dictated by the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) scale. MERV is used to evaluate the efficiency of an air filter based on how effective it is at catching particles of varying sizes and runs on a scale from 1 to 20. The higher the number on the filter, the more effective it is at stopping particles. Home and business users need to check
