Air Conditioning
Air Conditioning
We have to have air conditioning installed for our rental licence. We are quite concerned that some guests might leave the a.c. on 24 hours as it will be included in the rental price. Does anyone know how much this would cost for three units.
Cost of installation or cost of running the units?
I have three very efficient low consumption Panasonic Econavi units. Total cost of electricity for 2017 (consumption & standing charges) was a little over 1400€. 258 nights booked.

Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.
Yes, I'm afraid they will almost definitely be left running almost constantly, probably on a setting that is way off from being practical.
Unfortunately we don't have units as efficient as Marks but if I were considering installation now (ours are 10 yrs old) would certainly splash out on advanced tech units. It will pay dividends in the long run.
Although our season is relatively short at around 16 weeks our summer energy bills average >150eu per week. I live in dread of the July/August meter readings

Hi Marks they sound very effecient. Do you have a pool and irregation system as your bills sound very cheap.

We too are considering installing air con - at the moment we have a portable unit for the living area and 2 evaporative cooler units in the two bedrooms and have not had any complaints since we set these up. However we also have propane gas central heating to radiators for our own use in winter and recently for the first time ever did some lets over the Christmas season and the cost of running the heating even with a mild winter came to around 9e per day. (measured from actual gas usage). I suspect in colder weather that could rise to around 12e per day.
If we installed air con we would need three units - one for the living area and one for each bedroom - but the problem with installing air con is that all the available units seem to be inverter types these days with heating as well as cooling and really we don't need the heating aspect. Also the units seem very overpowered for our two small bedrooms as at home we have 1.3KW units and in small bedrooms they are more than enough. the third issue is that if we run three higher power units then our electricity may pop out if several other things were all running as well.
A meter does seem a good way to control usage or are there systems which can be remotely controlled and pre-set like Hive does for Central heating? If not then we have to meter or cost daily use of the air con and add it to the rental prices !!!
Can anyone recommend small efficient air con units? - and how do others cost out their air con?

I don't profess to own anything here apart from my own opinion.
Inverters allow the use of variable speed and hence quieter, cheaper to run units. It is the reversible units that offer heating.joddle wrote: but the problem with installing air con is that all the available units seem to be inverter types these days with heating as well as cooling and really we don't need the heating aspect.

LG a/c units with WiFi. IntesisHome WiFi A/C controllers. We ask guests before they arrive at what times and what temperature they want AC and set it up to run automatically for them. Our power bill s have reduced significantly since we started doing this. We've also found that asking guests' preferences makes them think about what they want rather than mindlessly setting a/c at coldest and on 24/7.joddle wrote:
