CY-Lockdown: a good time to think....
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:36 pm
Now, as we are in our second lockdown here, it is a good time to think about other things before one gets too depressed, being locked-in more or less.
You would also help the local economy - the last we want is another financial disaster like 2011!
What's about some maintenance or renovation at your home, which you have to do anyhow this year?
For example a dirty air-con unit is not only unhealthy, specially in these times, but also uses more electric power. Yearly service is also necessary for diesel boilers, not only for the smell and smoke. The quality of heating diesel is very low in Cyprus!! hence service is important.
Renovation could be replacing outdated heating/cooling systems towards a more "Green" solution. To invest money now instead in a few years time when the EU is not allowing to install Oil/Gas heating systems to reach CO2 goals. Much better is to use latest technology of electric heat pumps, ideally run by your own photovoltaic system on your roof or garden. No more bad smell, no leaking storage tanks, no refilling etc etc.
If you have already a PV system installed and paying still a fair amount of money to EAC, why not add some more panels to pay only the minimum electricity costs in future.
My favourite item for people owning a pool is still a solar-driven pool pump with 3 panels only, to circulate your pool water 12 hours a day, without electricity costs at all. Low pool maintenance and chemicals is another side effect!
Green Air, Paphos, one of the main sponsors on PaphosLife, does not only install all the above mentioned energy systems, but also undertakes all kind of maintenance jobs, starting from plumbing... recently also installing round saunas, something new in Cyprus, lovely and healthy.....
If you are interested, just phone Green Air office 26 941 555 and ask for Andreas, chief engineer.

My outdoor temperature at the moment here (midday) is only 8.9c,(same sea level than Polemi), but saying that if I look at my neighbours house, their entrance door is wide open all day long. (OK, they have 5 cats and 4 dogs, living indoors )
