The equipment need
An independent hotel owner wanted to install a VRF air conditioning system in every guest room to improve guest comfort.
He wanted to own the equipment at the end of the contract.
The work had to be done in the off-season without straining the hotel's cash.
- VRF system
- Indoor units for guest rooms
- Outdoor condensing units
- Centralized controls
The support described in the project
Leaseworld proposed an equipment lease with a purchase option at the end of the term, in line with the owner's wish to own the system.
The contract covered the equipment, installation and controls over 60 months.
Payments were adapted to the hotel's seasonal business.
The reported operational outcome
The system was installed before the high season, and the hotel was able to market air-conditioned rooms.
The owner kept his cash for other renovation work.
He planned to exercise the purchase option at the end of the contract and become the full owner of the system.
