Having the smart thermostats are nice because you can keep the tenants from keeping the temps too high in the winter and too low in the summer (we pay the utilities).

Well that shows you how much I know about HVAC. lol Really can't justify the expense anyway at the moment but we are doing some repairs today on the duct insulation and installing a programable thermostat.

I use WIFI thermostats.

We also use nest thermostats and outdoor cam to monitor.

And put a lock on the thermostat in January :)

As much of us lives in the bottom 2/3 of the space, thermostats will be cranked.

I plan on handling everything remotely and wanted to get some input on products you guys might use such as keyless entry locks, security cams and wireless thermostats etc.Any suggestions would be wonderful!

We then were able to switch out the thermostats to Chicago controls max 71 degree thermostats.

If the thermostat is set too low it will develop ice/frost on the coil inside of the unit.

The most common issues are dirty air filters, bad capacitors (usually go out in summer and can be ordered for less than $10 on Amazon), bad breakers (usually trip in winter with electric step heat), dirty coils (I clean coils during tenant turnovers), bad thermostats, and low refrigerant.
