How much would you charge to move an a/c unit from one house to another?

Lapta to Lapta (nr JK's).

Drilling of wall at new house and patching/making good wall at old house, etc, etc.

Got our air con from Arcelik fitted for £375 in July. 1800 btu more than adequate for large open plan lounge, diner, kitchen and good heater as well. The most environmental type and therefore cheaper to run. Fitted in one hour day after purchase. Excellent service from Tercan. Also have the no: of engineer who was going to move it for us when we move but did not get a price at the time so you would need to ring him for a quote. May be best to compare prices. His name is Ergin on 05338608956. Landlord has bought our unit now so have no need for his removable service.

Hi Mitsi,



Any 18,000Btu unit that you can buy from Arcelik for £375, fitted, isn't "The most environmental type.." as it will certainly:



Not be inverter driven, and therefore not "cheaper to run".



Run on R22 ozone depleting HCFC refrigerant, which has been phased out by most EU countries and no longer used by most leading manufacturers, and therefore not environmentally friendly.

most environmental i dont think with r22 and arcelik dont do inverters which are the less cost afective also you may get a cheaper price but they will fit it where they think it will be easyer i fit where you will get the best out the unit not in corners thanks vaughan. buy cheap get crap because when gas is gone the moaning will start because they have to buy new units with r410/r407

This is what i am saying in my last post if you have read it mackaozy they will end up replacing with r410 or r407 then thay will be moaning you can not buy r22 units in the uk no more and all brewerys have been given dates for 22 faze out and to have there equipment changed so i think i do have a clue m8

Wall Mounted DC INVERTER



Standard air conditioners have a fixed speed compressor so is unable to vary the load. With a D.C. Invertor drive, the unit can work on a partial load reducing power comsuption both on start up and running costs. With D.C. Invertor technology the temperature does not flutuate so will provide more comfort. Enery consumption can be reduced by as much as 44% compared to fixed speed compressors.

ok, nice...

two guys who know whats on...

i have questions:

this mentioned cheap 18000 btu arcelik for 375 stg (lets say 75 for fitting = 300), what you would gues/know what kind of CPO it has?

what a COP a good inverter one would have?

how much a good 18000 inverter one would cost?

from june to september such an aircondi runs between 3 and 8 hrs a day, say 6 and this for 30 days a month and for at least 3 month.

sometimes for heating in the winter as well.

when the payback comes? is the lifetime of a good aircondi not at least 10 years and a cheap one XX? years?

isnt "cheap" buying again "expensive"?

hi fazo1, mackazozy, vaughan?



please someone willing to answer my questions msg 15?



last year an "energy efficiency organisation" opened in cyprus, they are working on the subject "reducing energy needs in the trnc" to implement energy awareness and future orientated installations, that means "QUALITY".



thanks, Peter

yes we do need quality installations hear this is what i hope i do. The other way is to fit inverter system inwhich are very energy efficient. If the indoor unit is fitted in the right place it will cool the room a lot faster than in a corner of the room where you hardly feel the benefit of the unit as it will take longer to circulate.

Hi Peter,



CoP (co-efficient of performance) is a measure of Watts of heating/cooling produced versus Watts of energy consumed to do the work. An efficient system can have a CoP of 4:1 i.e it consumes 1Watt of power to do 4Watts of work.

Inverter driven a/c units may only use up to 1/6th of the total running cost of a non-inverter system as a DC motor is far more efficient under part load than an AC fixed speed motor at full speed. Therefore the energy saving is made by the inverter unit slowing the compressor motor down rather than the stop/start of a non-inverter motor. Payback will be determined by running hours/cost of electricity and correct sizing is critical to prevent the inverter unit running flat out all the time where energy savings are minimal. We can easily expect a top brand Japanese inverter unit to last for 10's of years. Cheap units have a lifespan determined by poor Quality Control. I have known units here to last a few years having only had a few weeks of running

hi fazo1, iam still waiting for some answeres of my msg 15....yours was a little weak...sorry.



hi Vaughan,



so, the COP is a very important matter, isnt it?

an inverter driven aircondition saves 44% of energy.

an aircondition runs approx 1200 hrs a year, if not more.

A cheap 18000 btu unit uses approx 2400 kw/h a year.

that cost me around 700 stg.

saving 44% means, a good inverter driven aircondi would cost me around 400 stg to do the same job, saving 300 stg a year for each installed 18000 unit.

actually i could save using nearly one cheap one and just use the inverter driven one double the time...



so, remains the question: how much is an inverter driven 18000 btu airconndition?

fazo1??



Vaughan, just by the way... interested in a solar direct dc pump which can bring the heat from solar water panels to a heatexchanger and heat the pool (which could be driven by a solar direct pump as well)?

Hi Peter,



An 18000Btu inverter driven Bosch unit will cost 2300YTL, supplied and fitted.



Always interested in energy saving technology.



Would you be interested in a combined domestic hot water solar heater panel and heat pump? Sunny days just solar, heat pump automatically runs when insufficient solar.

I am waiting for the price of 9000Btu Bosch Inverter. Will let you know.

I can do Hitachi but this is quite a lot more than Bosch e.g. 1880Euro for 9000Btu.

cheap at purchase aircondis you can get everywhere.

arcelik 375, fazo1 315 stg....

maybe others are cheaper? for sure!

due to the rising electricity cost and due to the used "old technology" they drop in price every year, but become more expensive to run every year.

in an european DIY shop you can get a 9000 btu for 100 STG!

who buys that crap aircondi stuff and why?



375 stg for an arcelik= 900 ytl.

a bosch 2300 ytl, difference 1400 ytl

running costs 1 year: arcelik approx 1800 ytl

bosch: approx 1000, difference 800 ytl

an inverter driven bosch aircondi pays back in 1,5 to 2 years.



Vaughan, iam interested in heat pumps, but... they are electric and difficult to run during power cuts. plus.. same prob with aircondi. who is willing to buy good stuff?

another point is that some installers make their customers believe that their air/water heat pump has a COP of 8! , thats bulls... of course. see http://www.cyprus44.com/forums/7117.asp , msg 6

1 I only fit the cheaper end of market hear as no one is willing to pay for good stuff so i have to go with the cheaper end of market



2 Yes people will be quids in with an inverter unit but people think you are trying to rip them of because they are double the price



3 An inverter a/c unit can easily be run on a generater as the start up is lower

They still purge here, which is against the law in the UK. Apart from which, without putting the unit under vac, how do they know their pipework doesn't leak? Answer: They don't and it often does.

fazo,

1)if you are willing to go for the cheaper end then you might fail as you have to be compatative to the even cheaper ones

2) a lot of people are fools, yes, but not your customers. you have to explain whats going on and in this forum you have the chance to do so. do it

3) you could sell good inverters also, or an inverterdriven 9000 btu which could be runned in a back up system or runned with solar power. think about it.



vaughan.

dont misunderstand me... GOOD heat pumps are good. lets talk about it in your office.

second thing: would you be interested to boost eg heatpums efficiency for eg pool heating with solar air collectors? (leading the preheated air towards the air-inlet of the heatpump...) i have some ideas how to manufacture this air panels at a reasonable price and it would avoid expensive solar piping/heat exchangers)

hi fazo,

get a "rothenberger" torch and run it with an ordinary gas bottle.

it works quite nice.



do yoou or Vaughan have access to an 9000 btu aircondi inverter driven? i am interested in two units.
