So what changed with the Casa de Olé A/C system in
2003?If you have stayed at Casa de Olé (or
other similar properties in this area) in the past, you may know that the original A/C equipment ran exclusively on propane (including the big fan chiller units
outside the house). Most homes on the Encanto Beach are designed
the same way. Between the two chiller units AND the generator, the
equipment drank a LOT of propane. What this meant was that it cost
$120, or more, per day to cool the house to a reasonable level.
During the winter months, the A/C system was
completely redesigned, then the old equipment was pulled out,
and new, high-efficiency, 12 SEER freon units were installed. In
addition, the existing generator was replaced with a higher-efficiency
version. With the new
system, only the new generator will use propane, thereby dramatically
reducing the cost.
What this means to you is the system runs MUCH
more cost-effectively and reliably. We give you a $50/day propane
allowance included in your daily summer rental fee. Any additional
usage about this amount is your responsibility.
Of course, your costs will always be dependent on
usage. For example, leaving the system set to a low temperature, with
doors and windows open, can quickly erase much of these improvements.
So, come stay at Casa de Olé and enjoy the finest
beach, accommodations, cooking, and new A/C comfort!
