Vacant units are expensive! If you haven't followed Stacey Hampton yet, you should. She is an expert in all aspects around Multifamily, NOI, and Property Management. Recently, Stacey posted about the true cost of unit turnover, and the breakdown was mind-boggling. 🤯 One crucial aspect of managing turnover costs is controlling and minimizing energy usage in vacant units. We've all walked into an apartment with the AC set to "stun" or the heat cranked up. Often, after various professionals complete their work, the thermostat remains set to high-cost settings. You can avoid these unnecessary costs by implementing a Smart thermostat. The Alarm.com Combo/Hub thermostat is a sleek, design-friendly, 2-in-1 solution. With this, you eliminate the need for an external hub, and through PointCentral software, you can control the settings in your vacant units and common areas, remotely. This solution allows you to create schedules, completely lock a thermostat, or set guardrails for acceptable temperature ranges. 👍 At ePropertyCare, we have successfully installed and support many of these systems across the country in both student living and multifamily communities. If you're looking for ways to lower or control your energy usage, this is an effective and simple solution.

You got that right. The cost of KWH is and has been rising. HVAC is easily the #1 contributor to high KHW usage and expense for vacant units. It can easily triple vacant unit electricity costs. Thank you for the shoutout!
