Helpful Tips and Tools for Landlords
With the skyrocketing costs of both real estate and building materials, landlords are eager to protect their investments and their tenants. Triple Tech is happy to help with a variety of heating, cooling and plumbing solutions for landlords.
Cheaper Isn’t Always Better
When considering equipment options for your investment property, the lowest-priced option is generally not the best choice. While you don’t need to always choose top-of-the-line products, it is wise to consider the impact of any potential damages, insurance claims or more frequent replacement costs versus the initial cost of equipment and installation alone. As a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer, we will do whatever it takes to help you choose the right products and equipment for your needs.
Maintaining the Temperature
Ontario landlords are required to maintain a minimum temperature of 20°C/68°F in their units from September 1 to June 15 of each year. Some municipalities may have slightly differing bylaws but this is the industry standard. If you are a landlord who lives offsite, how do you monitor and maintain this vital service requirement? With a WiFi thermostat!
WiFI thermostats allow you to monitor and control the temperature of your property from anywhere on your smartphone or computer. This allows you to raise and lower the thermostat accordingly, or even set timers for vacations, vacant periods, etc. One thing to keep in mind is that a secure WiFi connection is needed so if you don’t live on-site, you will need to work with your tenants to gain access to their network.
HVAC & Plumbing Monitoring Sytems
Water costs have risen an average of 57% over the past 8 years. 1 in 4 toilets leak or run excessively, resulting in higher water bills. Not to mention the cost of a flood!
Triple Tech offers a variety of HVAC and plumbing sensors and systems to alert you when the problem starts, not when it is too late. Property owners can get instant alerts for power outages, sump pump failures, water leaks, flooding, major temperature fluctuations and more. Not only will they help protect your tenants and your property, HVAC and plumbing sensors will also help you save on utility bills, conserve water and allow for better utility budgeting.
