Hi all, Trying to check the temperature on how people are thinking about FL's new inspections and reserves law (which will impact anyone with a condo or a coop in a building 3-stories or taller).

Many times electric baseboard is sized to maintain temperature, but not enough to allow the temperature to be lowered during the day when people leave home and to bring it up to temp when they come home.

. - One possible solution would be to keep the existing boiler/baseboard system for backup and/or use in extreme cold (possibly triggered by an outside temperature sensor).

IG: @MattPriestJr I have properties that I rent by the room in King/Pierce/Snohomish Counties.Many pro tips.For heating, I use Nest Thermostat and "lock" the temperature on 68 degrees. 

They have access to the temperature controls & we pay for the heat, so we don’t know why they didn’t turn it down besides them having new born baby exhaustion. 

(there is enough space under the roof to set up the central AC).A few pros and cons that I can think of for each option:Mini split:-Flexible room temperature control-Less costly to operate if I turn it off in the rooms that I don't use-Takes more visible space, not very pleasing to eye-Renter might loose the remote or break the unit (somehow!!)

.🌞 In Las Vegas, March signals the start of spring, with daytime temperatures reaching the 60s and nighttime lows in the 50s.

@Alejandro Ferrer you can have thermostats that limit the temperature the heat can be set to but where are you located that you think they can turn the heat off when they aren't home? 

I know pvc is not porous but with temperature in the back side (inside the wall) the front will easily develop this.

It’s the same temperature right now in MN as is it is Vegas.
