If you hire someone to do your landscape - mowing the lawn, prune trees etc... on a monthly basis, you might want to drop by once every 2-3 months to make sure the lawn maintenance work is satisfactory.I suggest you personally go change the air conditioning filter every 30-45 days.These two combined should give you a good excuse to stop in to inspect your property without them feeling like you are watching them.Add to that the occasional need to go pick up mail (in case not everything is forwarded or changed), as well as actual repair work...you have plenty of opportunity to go inside without any specifically scheduled "inspections".I tell all my tenants up front I will come by every month to change AC filters, bleach the condensate line, throw some ice and lemon peels into the disposer.

Both of which will cost a substantial amount of money - which funds, to my way of thinking, would be far better spent on installing high efficiency equipment which can be sidewall vented through PVC pipes - instead of on improving an obsolete chimney.If it were me I would hang a Navien condensing tankless boiler/water heater on the wall and use that for both purposes.

There is not one person in this business in the mid west or out east that has not had this happen to them.. stealing condenser units is a sport in those areas just look at the product and you will see the units are caged..
