Hi, if you can afford it, definitely have them fitted, you need to be comfortable, get a good quote, you don’t need top price units, as you say it’s a holiday home, the lounge you will use the most. In the hotter days we put the bedroom aircon on about half an hour before we go to bed, if like us you watch a bit of tv in bedroom, it’s great. If it’s really hot we leave it on for a couple of hours while we sleep, then turn it off when you feel cooler.
As you say it’s a holiday home so the guarantee is not so important because usage is low, we are still on 3.45 kw potencia so as long as you are a bit careful what electricity you have on, you won’t get too many trips (make sure you know where the electricity trip is located). Final point make sure you get aircon units with the inverter, makes them cheap to run, also we have used ours for heating for an hour or so if we don’t want the log burner on, supposed to be one of the cheapest forms of heating.
We have been here full time over a year now, so have been through all the seasons, enjoy your time here.
