Elektromarla's honest advice

Three technologies, one factory

Every hotel has different needs. We make all three technologies in our Istanbul factory, so we can recommend the right one for your project rather than the one we happen to sell.

Operating the hotel for 10 years or more

Inverter Compressor. Against Absorption it pays back its higher price in 16 months and keeps saving every year after that.

Absolute silence is a must

Absorption or Thermoelectric (Peltier). Neither has a compressor, so there is nothing for a light sleeper to hear. The price of that silence is electricity.

Budget-focused project in a cooler climate

Thermoelectric (Peltier). The lowest purchase price of the silent options; make sure summer room temperatures stay moderate.
