@Michael Plaks BP programmers have got to allow for "reactions" that are more expressive than a vote! 

@Abigail NittleMy only addition to what’s been said is the huge advantage of a remote location to add “smart” features like thermostat and WiFi door locks that allow you to manage the space at a distance.

I am a control systems programmer working for an electrical engineering firm, I do some engineering and have my EIT certificate.

Before making a no heat call please check that the batteries in your thermostat are properly installed and have a charge. 

I'm sorry, Joseph, I'm just sick and tired of 20-year-old programmers who are busy figuring out the next greatest way to post cat pics online telling me their time as investors is too valuable to do basic home maintenance for their tenants.
