Hvac investment/tenant comfort in CT

[Brendan Connolly]

Hi there community. I'm a small time investor but looking to take off this year. We want to pick up least 3 more multi family houses, minimum of 2 family units. Has anyone recently added Mitsubishi mini split heat and a/c units to their properties when having issues with comfort for their residents?

To add a little context...we have a home with working steam radiators, gas boilers thag are 7 or 8 years old. The heat was so inconsistent I was receiving non stop compliants. We did everything we needed to and always got the radiators running. It seemed to be more of a thermostat issue.  The tenants just want on demand heat and don't really care to hear about how a steam radiator works, etc. I like this mini split option because not only is it a back up buy it also gives them air conditioning. Therefore, no more window units. Right now we pay for heat because the 2nd floor was split 30 plus years ago and the apartments are grandfathered in with the city. 1 thermostat in one of the two apartments.

Suggestions, comments, experience with these??
