On the fun side, you might enjoy driving by the apartments on a cold winter night and seeing the windows wide open with the thermostats set on 100 degrees!

Last night a tenant called and said the thermostat wasn't working.

(They called the Electric Company and even spoke with the Honeywell People (thermostat manufacturer) to make sure it's not the settings).

He says its the most efficient since it heats the whole room from the floor up to about thermostat level.

its kinda plug and play and i have had several HVAC guys quote me on this. it would cost more up front but it would be a new system with warranty and i can add one thermostat that only i can control.  

I have wifi thermostats.

hay Denita    if the barker in the panel dose not work or issues are not fixed after installing a new braker     some times the water heater too,  has a thermostat that has a braker that will pop (not being phased in right  or wired right. 

Why not just install a $100 WiFi thermostat and require electronic access from your tenants to only monitor for such purposes?

It seems that if it's guests with one person, then it's laundry with the next or lights with another person or thermostat with another person.  

I read an article about how buyers love smart thermostats, doorbells, etc...I’m wondering if adding some of those will make the property easier/faster to rent.
