Question 1

Should I install solar panels — is it worth it?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes given the sun, but note the 2026 shift from net-metering to net-billing — you are credited at a wholesale rate for exports — so size the system to what you use by day and consider a battery. Government grants recur, so check the current round, and get two or three installer quotes.

Question 2

How much does it cost to build a house in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

Ballpark €1,200–2,000+ per m² depending on spec and finish, plus land, an architect (about 8–12% of the build), permits and utility connections; allow 12–18 months. Get a fixed-price contract with stage payments tied to milestones.

Question 3

Who services or installs my air-conditioning, and what does it cost?

Accepted Answer

A basic split-unit install is about €150–300 in labour (the unit itself is €400–1,100), with extras for core-drilling and piping. Book an annual service and clean before summer to keep it efficient; running one hard-worked unit costs roughly €40–55 a month.
