Now I really know Qatar Cool are blatently ripping off Pearl investors. I have just found on Palm District Cooling's website the connection charges for Dubai's Palm Island Jumeirah and other properties supplied air-con by Palm District Cooling. I have also found a PDF of a signed owners contract from someone using their services.
For the Owner
◦Annual Capacity Charges = AED 750 x tons allocated to premises
◦AED 1,500.00 Meter set up fee (one time fee).
•Refundable deposits for apartments required from owners and tenants
◦AED 1,000 Studio /One Bedroom
◦AED 2,000 Two Bedroom
◦AED 3,000 Three Bedroom and above
◦AED 3,000 Retail
You then pay monthly consumption charges and the amount is listed per unit.
I'm not an aircon expert so I'm not sure how many tonnes my unit would use a year in aircon, and I'm sure some people in Dubai are not happy with these charges, but even a grade school student can see that the charges listed here, openly published on the company's website I might add, are not even close to the QR129,000 Qatar Cool want to charge me for aircon connection.
