ELECTRICAL RESTRICTIONS 

Electricity in Mexico is either very cheap or very expensive depending on how much you consume. Pricing is done on a complex sliding scale that favors small users with low rates and substantial government subsidies. It penalizes heavy users with very high rates.

To obtain electricity in Playa Encanto from CFE (The Mexican electric company)

We agreed to LIMIT OUR DEMAND USAGE (100 amp service panels) By using PROPANE GAS appliances for cooking water heating and clothes drying.  So, please install  GAS RANGES AND OVENS, GAS WATER HEATERS AND GAS DRYERS.  Propane gas is delivered to the area almost daily by several gas companies.

If you adhere to using GAS for cooking, water heating and clothes drying, your electric rates will be subsidized and very low.  If you don’t, your bill could be as much as eight (8)times higher, and you will run the risk of exceeding The 100 amp service capacity and creating an outage or an electrical fire.

Mini-split air conditioning versus central air

If  decide to air condition your house, we suggest that you consider using mini-

split systems in each room rather than a large central air conditioner. This will save you money and electricity by only cooling the rooms you occupy and eliminate the cost of duct work.

MAINTENANCE

Playa Encanto is a beautiful place, but it is also a corrosive environment. We suggest that you use:

Anodized aluminum or vinyl windows.

Fiberglass or wood exterior doors, not steel.

Aluminum garage doors.

Limit the amount of exposed wood. Our termites are airborne and cannot be eliminated only controlled.
