TL;DR
Gas heating is much more comfortable and cheaper for Batumi winters than relying only on air conditioning, which feels cold and runs up electricity bills.
If wintering in the Orbi Center area, note that apartments there often have only AC without gas heating — the cold feels harsher than actual frost in Siberia or Cyprus.
The key to a comfortable winter is gas heating in the apartment. Coming in from the cold to an already warm home feels completely different than waiting for AC to slowly heat up the room.
Apartments with AC-only heating noticeably increase electricity bills in winter — heating with an air conditioner uses much more energy than gas.
