My Renters Always Complain About Their Heat and Air Bills

I knew how appealing our Heating & A/C systems were, but our renters were careless and didn’t take care of the unit properly

One of our least number one things about being a proprietor is dealing with the renters that live in our properties. Occasionally, I get a wonderful renter who takes care of our property and pays their bills on time, and unluckyly, those types of renters are few and far between. Most of our renters are needy, always complaining, and always paying their rent a month too late. When I first started renting properties, one of the biggest complaints I got was about the heat and air bills. A lot of renters thought their energy bills were too high, so they were always calling and complaining about how inefficient the Heating & A/C plan was. A lot of people thought I should update the whole Heating & A/C system, claiming I’d installed a cheap, money-sucking piece of equipment. However, that wasn’t the case at all! I always installed the best Heating & A/C unit and I hired Heating & A/C professionals to come repair all our property’s Heating & A/C systems twice per year. I never expected our renters to pay for Heating & A/C servicing. I knew how appealing our Heating & A/C systems were, but our renters were careless and didn’t take care of the unit properly. They were legitimately rough on their thermostat settings, and consistently leaving doors and windows open while the heat and air were running. It’s no wonder their heat and air bills were so high! I tried sending out flyers to all our properties listing ways they could save money on their heat and air bills, however I doubt they actually study the information. I’m not sure there’s much more I could do for them.
