German term or phrase: Prima Klima
Hi folks.

Selling a service to clean out your air conditioner/heater in a car, exchange the microfilter and recharge the system if necessary. This is the heading.

Not being the creative type, the best I could come up with was "Real Climate Control" but I will be the first to admit it lacks a certain flair.

Any and all suggestions accepted.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks to everyone on this. In any case, I added a note to the client regarding the loss of the play on words in English and what they might do about it.

I'm just throwing a few ideas at you - maybe they'll provide some inspiration...? I quite like something with alliteration myself, but I don't know if it fits the context!

agree  Stefan Hofmeister: "Prima Klima" is a play on words and this would fit best, if it would be understood in English (?).

agree  PhilippID: like it :)
1 hr
  -> Thanks, philippid! :)
agree  Textklick: The question is about ventilation, heating and aircon. As 'climate control' is not relevant (see above) I'll buy this (without the 'be'). Alliteration rules ;-)
17 hrs
  -> Thanks, Chris! :-)
agree  PoveyTrans (X): Nice - another thought is (be) climate smart - another corporate favourite at the moment...but not so catchy :-)...

perfectly comfortable


Explanation:
in einem prima Klima fühlt man sich wohl, one is perfectly comfortable. So, maybe that would be an option here.

Because it's about cleaning and recharging the heating- and air conditioning system, "fresh air" would be a possibility?


other suggestions:

(great) climate comfort
in the comfort zone

(maximum/optimal) climate comfort
