Interesting to see what TRNC owners are paying for the heating bills in the winter weeks ?
It would be helpful to state what heating you have and if a villa, apt, or house for comparison ?
What heating do you use dual air con, gas central heating, wood burner or any other form of heating ?



We have a 3 bed apartment, dual aircon approx 45 pounds per week.

We have a bungalow, and have used 1 small gas bottle. We only warm the living room though.

So what is your weekly cost approx Lor51 for heating ? Thanks.

I have a local wood burner in the lounge and that's mainly all I use . Electric blanket on 10 minutes before I go to bed, and gas fire in the bathroom for when I have a shower.

Haven't been able to work out the winter heating bills as yet, but in the past we have had a mixture of gas fires, log fire, halogen and kerosene heaters. All being used during the winter depending on the room in question. This year we decided to stick 100% to halogen and A/C (which we've never used for heating before and put on for about an hour at 6ish) I can't imagine the bill this month will be less than 400tl and probably nearer 480tl and I don't care!! Our house is totally open plan and is dreadful to heat in the winter. Much cooler than many properties in the summer though.

Hi

We have a 2 bed bungalow with a wood burner in the lounge which is open plan to the kitchen. It doesn't cost a lot to run this as we go beach combing for wood and dry this out for a year on the roof terrace before using, hubby cuts this up once it is dry. We have a fan heater in the bedroom which we put in the bathroom to warm this up before having a shower. We use hot water bottles in the bed, as we have a memory foam mattress we cannot use electric blankets. In the winter I change the mattress cover to a fleece one and use flannelette sheets, these make a huge difference. I have just received my electric bill for the month 156ytl. and this was with all the xmas lights on for 3 weeks.

I have a small house with very very high ceilings my bill today was 152 tl for the past month. But loads of christmas lights electric oven emersion heater hairdryer tv fridge freezer and sometimes a convector in the bedroom I dont use air con for heating I also have a couple of gas heaters Not to bad really last months was 83tl.
