Title: A couple of questions
Post by: BernieTeyze on June 17, 2016, 21:48:19 PM
A bit of a daft question,but when a house says it has central heating,what sort of fuel are they referring to and what would the costs be?

Long term rentals for Ovacik area,any recommendations please? Anyone know what the approx cost of a private villa with/without pool.1,2 bedrooms.

Thanks for help.

It could be any fuel type. You need to ask.

If it's gas, it'll be bottled and VERY expensive. If it's solid fuel fired ( coal / wood / pellets ) you've got to consider bulk fuel storage space as well as cost.

...and if it's Ovacik you need to factor in how much colder it is up there out of season.

Actually you are not entirely correct KKOB with "If it's gas, it'll be bottled and VERY expensive" - ours was gas but underground tank, not bottled.

It was still VERY expensive though   ;)

Yes indeed scunner,  once bitten n all that. Hence looking at centrally heated ones. The one I am thinking of has a soba as well and air-conditioning, I will be straight into fethiye for ufo heaters n rugs if it materialises.  Will find out what central heating it is too.
I think I want to find a rental and not buy this time.

Thanks for info

I think a Soba is a great idea to keep CH costs down, because CH is always expensive over there. If you haven't had one before, find out how to load one for maximum heat and efficiency, the difference can be huge.

You are right again on UFOs, although they are very directional and short term -- their heat seems to disappear right after you turn them off :D

What are you going to do with all that time you saved by only typing CH, twice ?   ;)

You have to remember Scun,  Kkob hasn't been to Calis, or even anywhere in Turkey for about 10 years, so info on anything on here is out of date I think.  ;)

Des is purely abiding by his rule, you can't have a valid opinion about a place if you no longer live there.

I'm almost sure you made a post on the mozaik bache thread, when Nichola and Dogan said they were leaving that it was a shame as you were coming out the following year as you hadn't been here for a certain number of years, perhaps our Keith might be able to find it, if I'm wrong of course I will gladly apologize to you. as for talking rubbish Knob, bit of Pot/ Kettle there methinks.

You mean this post Des ?

Bugger ! Mrs KKOB and I have never been to the Mozaik but we'd promised ourselves a visit next year.
Best wishes for the future.

I don't want to get into a Battle of Wits with you des, because you're obviously unarmed.

Let it drop eh ?   ;)

I keep reading about 'sobas' but don't know exactly what they are and how they work. Does anyone have a picture of one - and can enlighten me?

You know in them old westerns they used to have a metal square with a coffee pot on, well it's one of Them!

It heats the room, by burning coal or wood. You can cook on them and even dry your clothes on the pipes.

They're cast iron, a bit like wood burners in UK but they have a big pipe to take the smoke/fumes outside. Supposed to be very efficient.

Soba is a brand name and is used to describe all manner of ovens and woodburners in Turkey. It's the same as using Hoover to describe vacuum cleaners.
