Cheaper Electric Bills

[colinanddenise]

Hi all
We have had these timers (3) fitted to the air cons in our apartment for this season. I think the cost from memory was £30 per unit. The fitting was done very promptly and without any mess or disruption.
The apartment use was up by about 30% this season and the electric bill was about the same as that for 2008. Add to this the increased cost of electricity this year and we are more than happy with the result.
You cannot rely on renters being responsible about the use of others electricity (eg electric saver cards, which we also have) and where do you draw the line on what to include in the rental fee?

We feel this has solved one our concerns regarding the letting of the apartment and feel the cost is more than worth it.

Is it possible to overide them when you use your apartment?

Hi Paul
No you cannot 'overide' the timers, but you can push the button just like anyone else.
But why would you want to run the air con for more than two hours in one go anyway?
If you feel the need to hide up in the apartment/villa and run the air con for hours on end, then Turkey in high season may not be the place for you.

The people who install the timers might be able to help you more
