Sorry just got back to my PC. I use a lot of power Last month I used 1854KW so can someone tell me how much that would be there.
Many hotels have cards to enter/exit the room. Also possible motion sensors. If someone exits the room a/c off after 5 minutes.Yupeski,
Set at 76F it will be on about 60% of the time! Ambient Temps on the North coast during the day are up in the 80F most of the time. Even on a day like this it is 79F acording to Sosua News!
Olly and the Team

We have a 3 bedroom apartment and run 3 seperate AC units each on about 72 deg pretty much 24/7. Last month our EDE bill was 15,451 pesos with a usage of 1379kWh. Pretty expensive.
Santo Domingo (Central) - RD$20,724 approx.
Um.. just for comparison. I lived in a 6600 sq.ft. house in Arroyo Hondo with 2 Split A/C units, and a water heater, plus a big reefer, and only paid 1200 pesos a month.
Now I live by myself in a new 4br/4 bath apartment with 2 A/C's, and my last bill was 1645 pesos.
There's a lot of tricks you can do to conserve energy.
"Conserve" energy,OR,steal energy "JD"????
I live in Arroyo Hono. I paid ZERO for my electric bill for ten years.
I used the "Tried and True" Dominican way to do it, I Stole it!!!! :bandit::bandit:
For the past five years I have been paying.
THAT costs a LOT more.
I have 3 splits,and one through the wall unit.
Average monthly bill,15,000 pesos.
We are going with the new,"Inveter" splits as we replace the older units.
They cost about 50% more,but use around 50% less electricity.
Only time will tell?
I didn't come here to live like most Dominicans.
I want the "AIR" on when I,and my kids sleep.
We sleep soundly,wake up refreshed,and it keeps the house quiet at night,,and cleaner as well.
I prefer 68 to 70 degrees for sleeping.
Under a "Micro-Fiber" blankets,all stolen from Embassy Suits hotel in Juan Dolio!!!
They have really nice bath towels,pillows,and their cuttlery is top shelf too!
I have learned a LOT about how to live/survive here over the years.

What type of electric bill am I looking at per month if I use central AC (leaving it at about 76F to automatically cut off and on itself) in a 3 bedroom 3 bath house not apartment in Santo Domingo?
I use 4 air conditioners ,,two in the bedrooms at night only and two in the livin rooms during the afternoon and early night and my electricity bill is now about 10 ,000 pesos every month ,,,In the cooler months when I only occasionally use the bedroom AC , it is about 1800 pesos every month
i live in turks also, one bedroom appartment with AC and everything electric = $300 per month, 2 bedroom appartment in sosua with AC at night mostly, gas for cooking, electric dryer, 2 kids = have never paid more than $200 per month
