Save on your electric costs by using an AC timer

If you own a holiday rental property on the Costa del Sol, you probably know what it’s like to deal with tenants that leave your air conditioning on day and night! Whether they’re off to the pool, the beach, out for a meal or even just sat on the terrace, many holidaymakers seem to leave the air conditioning on 24/7, without considering the impact that it might have on not just your bills, but the environment too.

With the rise in electricity and energy costs all over Spain and Europe, this lax approach to leaving the air conditioning on could leave you with hefty bills to pay at the end of the month, even when your guests are long-gone!

A great way to resolve this issue is to install an air conditioning timer – a handy device that lets you and your holidaymakers pre-programme the air con system ahead of time, allowing enough cold (or hot) air to circulate throughout the property, without needing to leave it on all day and night. You and your guests can choose from several different intervals: ¼ hour, ½ hour, 1 and 2 hours, to help minimise its use and to keep your costs down – winner!

If your problem isn’t about forgetful holidaymakers, but instead you find yourself falling asleep and waking up to find the AC on full-blast or forgetting to switch it off when you leave the house, then an air conditioning timer is perfect for you too! With no standby light either, you’ll save energy and keep your costs down with this easy fix.
