Pool heating (Mirador) - Jetline inverter; Rate is 15.5p kwh plus pump operation. Total = 15.5p (pool heater) plus 15.5p (pump activation) per kwh = Cost is 31p per meter unit used. At full capacity over a 24 hour period under spring and autumn test conditions it used 43kwh 43 x 31p = £13.33 per 24 hours. Note: it is best not to heat the pool in summer or it would be too warm - more info below.

Additional information and breakdown of meterage costs as at May 2024;

Air/con combined with warm air units - The Panasonic inverters are very cost efficient to run, though are not that efficient when the temperature is very cold when you may well need the central heating on in the evening, or on for a short period. Air/con and warm/air heating remains inexpensive to use. If a bedroom unit is on the coldest setting, then the maximum cost per hour is 0.7 of a Kw.; 0.70 x 15.5p = 11p per hour. To heat the room, apart from using the gas central heating, is 0.820 x 15.5 = 13p per hour. The cost is usually half of this because when the room cools down or warms up, then the motor doesn’t have to work so hard. Obviously, the doors and windows should be closed. If using during the day then draw the curtains. On average if the air/con in a bedroom is on for 8 hours per 24 hour day, then reckon a cost of up to £0.88 per unit per day. Instead of engaging the cool or heat Modes use the Dry Mode, which is healthier, very quiet and half the cost to run.

Pool heating (Mirador) - is via a Jetline inverter and cost efficient to run. Rate is 15.5p kwh plus pump operation (1.2kw pump = 19p kwh less the normal pump daily cycle use of 4 hrs of off peak is 17% less, gives a rate again of 15.5p per kwh). Total = 15.5p (pool heater) plus 15.5p (pump activation) per kwh = 31p per kwh. At full capacity over a 24 hour period under spring and autumn test conditions it used 43kwh within a 24 hour period. 43 x 31p = £13.33 per 24 hours. Note: it is best not to heat the pool in summer or it would be too warm. Booklet is in villa folder. Jetline say under their test conditions of Air temp 26 degrees and water at 26 that power input is between 0.87 and 3.44 kw. On average we found it was just under 2kw, hence 43 kwh used over 24 hours.

Gas Central heating (Mirador) - Average usage is between £50 and £100 per week for gas. If you have the central heating running all the time during your stay, or if you have the heating thermostat set to a high temperature then these average guidance figures will change accordingly. Most economical use in winter is to run air/con warm air units in Dry Mode until you find you need to put the central heating on. Avoid having units on during the day or when you are out. If, during your stay, you are exceeding the average normal usage, then we may be obliged to charge additional usage on your credit card. The supervisor will inform you, in the case of 35 kilo gas bottles, that usage is unusually high, in the event that you wish to moderate your usage, since we do not control what you use. Gas 35 kilo bottles. Formula for converting m3 to kilo weight of gas consumed is m3 x 2 Therefore, a 35 kilo large bottle, on a supervised delivery, cost 83.90€ divided by 35 (kilos of gas in bottle) = 2.397 x 2 (formula) = 4.79€ divided by 1.15 (exchange rate) = £4.17 per unit. Please note that these prices are a guide, since fuel prices fluctuate, as does the exchange rate. Please also note that we are not in control of your usage at the villa.
