I just paid $170 to replace the thermostat on a 8 year old water heater.

The furnace is gas, and the thermostat control is on the lower floor.

Baseboards, window and door trim, light fixtures, smoke alarms, thermostats, etc might need to be adjusted to accomodate the added thickness of the drywall layer if you choose to veneer - but the issues with cracks re-appearing diminish with drywall.

I always install a thermostat that keeps auxiliary heat locked out above 40 degrees, saves our customers a lot of money.

As it turns out, the thermostat had somehow gone from Farenheit to Celcius.

If you do decide to go the traditional way separate each unit with their own thermostat and meter for billing.

We put in a landlord thermostat that tops off at 71*.

I have and ecobee thermostat that is located on the 1st floor with temperature sensors in every room of every apartment that communicate with the thermostat.

The advantage an electric company has to encourage turning down the thermostat or installing energy-efficient appliances is to reduce the need to either repurchase more expensive energy from the grid or have to invest significant capital into greater capacity plants or building new plants.

I’m honestly not sure why anyone would pay someone stateside to handle property management when it is so cheap to hire someone offshore to do a high-quality job.My offshore PM can set door codes, message (or call) guests, schedule cleaners, adjust the thermostat, monitor my cameras, & call a plumber just as easily as a local PM can, for 1% of the cost.
