I noticed that the AC wouldn't turn on when the thermostat was set to 75 and the inside temperature reading was at 81. 

It seems a lot more seasonal that Bradenton/Tampa (mostly due to the lower temperatures in the winter). 

I do require all tenants to have utilities turned on and have a minimum temperature requirement for the furnace during winter month in St.

Would you rather be home based in the Bay Area with tons of things to do nearby, good weather, lots of nature, etc. or someplace with little culture, extreme temperatures, bland immediate environment, etc., etc.

Here’s where metro Phoenix take a fair hit due to its triple-digit temperatures pushing up AC bills.Appreciation: 9.51.

PEX is really good for colder climates, where the temperature fluctuates.

With the utilities on, the building temperature stays relatively the same.

Hose is connected to hose bib during freezing temperatures, causing the water pipe inside the house to freeze and split.All of these are tenant-caused issues and should be charged to the Tenant.

Do you know how a heat pump heats when temperature hits below 40. 

If there is any standing water in the lines, when the temperature drops below freezing, that water will freeze and expand, likely bursting the line while doing so.3.
