I was a system analyst, IT guy and programmer for a while.In one case, I had a complaint that water was leaking from upstairs.

I go in to check and turn the thermostat up.

We used to have a weekly department luncheon in the conference room where myself, all the other programmers and the department head would sit around the large conference table.

LOLMind you, I automated everything: Keyless Entry with Z-Wave system, Thermostat, Cameras, etc.

My HVAC guy is charging me for the following: adding a 70K BTU gas furnace, a 2.5 ton AC condenser, 40 gal water heater, all ductwork, registers, gas piping, thermostat, permit drawings: $11kI don't know if this is a normal price, but it's the one we decided to go with.

Ideas I had:• Nest automates thermostats and one day in the near future is a good implementation in B rentals• HVAC or dishwasher breaks and technology can alert you• Technology good for B and A class• Class B rentals are having Amazon lockers and these Nest thermostats• Know your avatar• At one time backsplash in kitchens was unheard of and now its a cheap fix• What is standard in the market?

Personally I'd rather be called a geek :)I'm a programmer (with carpal tunnel or tendinitis or something).

He was a programmer, and had simply overstayed a few weeks without working--not a criminal, just a Canadian.

I can have a second thermostat installed so that the landlord and the tenant can control their own preferred temperature.

If the area is "nicer" (and it sounds like it based on the 400 K values and rent levels) the tenants probably just want to hit that thermostat and get state of the art AC, cool through the whole house.
