Helia 44: Air conditioning / heating a FP in Turkey

[Claudine]

Hello FP owners,

Looking for someone who has been in southern Turkey during winter to tell me whether a reverse cycle air con and a bar heater can warm a FP enough to live aboard in winter.

Thanks

You can live there with electric powered heating tools. It is not going below 0 C° in southern parts of Turkiye in winter. The problem is electric energy KWh price is too high in marinas. It is 6-10 times expensive from electric energy KWh price due in city. You need to find a solution like gas or petrol heating in the boat if you don't want to pay excessive electric bills in the marinas.
