thoughts on including utilities in single family home

[Dave Silva]

The property is in Eastern NC. Summers are hot winters are mild.  I installed a  ductless minisplits HVAC system in my house and I CANNOT get my electric bill over $150 year round.  We keep it very comfortable. 

People around me pay so much more to keep cool in the summer ($3-400/mo is normal)

So, I'm renovating a rental. The HVAC needs some attention and I am thinking of installing splits and renting it for $300 more than prevailing price with utilities included.

This is not common around here and neither is this type of HVAC.

If it is not the norm in your area to include utilities then I wouldn't do it. If you want to sell people I would sell them on how much cheaper the electric is with the system you have. That savings alone will entice people.
