KBV Split A/C units

[ecwinch]

I see from the latest newsletter that we installing split A/C units in 105 units at KBV. Anyone know if that is one split unit per KBV unit? The blurb in the newsletter mentions that each bedroom + the living area will have A/C, but is not clear if that means each room (ie. 3 splits) or just the living area (ie. 1 split).

And is the entire resort moving to split's or just the timeshare units?

Also - I know there was a previous mention that they were building a video tour of the model unit - anyone know how to access that?

TIA


New Air Conditioning Coming Soon


At the May Board of Directors meeting the Board approved management to install Split Unit Air Conditioning in all 105 Units at KBV. We are very excited to get this reserve project started and plan to have completed by the end of 2019. Each bedroom plus the living room will have Air Conditioning that will provide comfort, efficiency and energy savings. The type of AC that we will be installing has already been installed in our renovated model unit and the next time you are on property, please come and see me and I would be happy to give you a tour.

To me, the wording seems clear that each bedroom and each living room will get a unit.

My understanding is that the full-time homeowners are responsible for the interior of their units.

As stated above, to see the model unit, you need to go to the front desk and ask to see it.

Aloha,
Denise has correctly answered the A/C question. It is my understanding that an AOAO standard was to be finalized prior to the timeshare installations defining the approved installation configuration so that individual owners would be free to also have split A/C installed in a visually and structurally consistent manner.
The online video of the model unit was stopped. I prefer to not get into a discussion about why other than to state that the model unit does not necessarily represent an approved final configuration. To clarify my preference, I will not answer further questions about it for the foreseeable future.

I read it the same way. By my count, there are 18 units each in buildings A, B, C, E, and F. 24 each in buildings D and G. And 12 in building H. That adds up to 150 in total. Take out those privately owned units, and 105 timeshare units sounds right.

Thanks for the insight, Jack. It is always good to get first hand information.

A split AC unit is one where the compressor is SPLIT from the fan units (meaning more than one) and is not like central air in a typical residence were one compressor serves one fan which cools multiple rooms in the residence to the same temperature. Typically used in Condos or housing without central heat or air, the SPLIT unit's one compressor sends cold air to multiple fan units each of which is typically individually controlled as to being on or off and to different desired temperatures. So one unit's compressor would serve the fan unit in each of the bedrooms and living room in a KBV condo. In situations where the utilities are included in dues (maintenance fees) it would be possible to be economic and have one compressor serve two small condos and save money on the installation. I have not heard if our planners were that cleaver.
Mahalo for the good question.
