The house was constructed to accept split type aircon units in all the main rooms with the wiring and tubing all in place. We considered having a centralised control but the cost was very high and we will only run the units as we need them. However we have put them into each room, 6 in total. We are on the coast so benefit from a sea breeze which means we don't need aircon on at all during the day, except sometimes in my office. We use the aircon in the living room in the evening, after we close the windows and in the bedroom at night. We have installed Midea units which seem very quiet and efficient. The running costs are as yet unknown as this is very new, we having been here for about a month. Actually our own power line is not yet connected so we are still running on a temporary supply provided, and paid for, by the developers!
