Energy saving for cabin in Pigeon Forge.
Have you installed any energy savings devices in your STR properties?
We have a 4400 sq ft 6 bedroom cabin that just had an $800 electric bill.
We have 2 HVAC systems and an inline dehumidifier. These run alot in the summer. People are keeping temperature set around 70F in most cases. I think that is lowest AC can be set.
Hot tub, 240vac (has some age on it)
2 80 gallon commercial water heaters
Well pump, 2nd pump for holding tanks
Tons of LED lights and ceiling fans.
Large windows facing the mountain views.
Have you invested in things like Geothermal heat pumps, solar cells, window film to filter some heat( helpful in summer, harmful in winter), solar cells, etc?
