Hi wonder if anyone can help.
I'm considering getting air conditioning installed in my apartment next week. Seeing as though the apartment is mainly rented out in the summer months I am a little concerned about the continous useage it may get by people renting it and leaving it switched on, therefore clocking up large electricity bills.
Is it possible to get a unit that is programmed to switch itself off after say an hour?
And also , if anyone knows of any good reliable suppliers in the Fuengieola/Los Boliches area, this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Even if you can't get a unit that has the controls you want, I'm sure an electician could come up with a timer to do it for you.
On the otherhand, it might be an idea to work out the maximum cost of electricity if is left on continuously and bujild this into your rental price for July and August (I must admit that I am on solar power and have no idea of the cost of electicity here). After all you are expecting the aircon to make your property more desirable.

Koldair have been around in Fuengirola for over 30 years and I've not heard any bad reports about them. They offer a Fujima-Toshiba unit for 635 euros fully fittted. Address is Poligono San Rafael (phone 605 428 307). Hope this helps. Tony
Thanks for the info.
My m8's going over to get it fitted next week so I'll pass on that number for Fuengirola to him.
We'll probs have to suck it and see regards the timer and speak to an electrician if its not possible to get a timer fitted at the time of installation.
It seems a good idea for rentals, in particular if people leave it on when they go to the beach or when they go to bed.

I agree with denis
You need to build in the extra electricity cost into the rental charge, plus when you advertise it for rent you can say the property havs full A/C which should help get more rentals.
people would expect the A/C to be working all the time even during the night when it can still be very hot, and there is nothing worse than having to leave all the windows open because you are to hot, and getting bitten to death.On the otherhand, it might be an idea to work out the maximum cost of electricity if is left on continuously and bujild this into your rental price for July and August (I must admit that I am on solar power and have no idea of the cost of electicity here).

Thanks for all your help chaps. M8 got one in Fuengirola and they have installed a meter box in it which is ideal. One Euro will get approximately 4 hours of air conditioning, which means that those renting will get it cheap and we can avoid the worry of people leaving it on all day and night.
You could ask your electrician to set up the electrics as they do in hotel rooms.
They are only on when a "key" attached to the keyring is inserted into a special circuit breaker so electrics only on when someone in villa/apartment.
