Save Money With Central Air and a Landlord Thermostat
July 21, 2023Optimizing Heating and Cooling in Student Housing: A Back-to-School Guide for Comfort and Efficiency
August 21, 2023Property managers constantly seek ways to manage our properties more efficiently. One area that often poses a challenge is the control of heating and cooling systems. Here is where Chicago Controls Thermostats come in. This blog explores the benefits of using our tamper-proof and temperature-control thermostats and how they can help property managers save money and time.
Why Temperature Control is Vital for Property Managers
Heating and cooling systems are among residential properties’ most significant energy consumers. When tenants have unrestricted access to these systems, they can set temperatures too high or too low, leading to excessive energy consumption and inflated utility bills. Moreover, improper temperature control can increase wear and tear on HVAC systems and even potential health risks for tenants who may not understand the implications of extreme temperature settings.
The Solution: Tamper-Proof Thermostats
Our tamper-proof thermostats offer a solution to these problems. Our thermostats prevent tenants from adjusting the temperature beyond reasonable levels by setting maximum and minimum temperature limits. This advantage not only ensures a comfortable living environment for tenants, but also helps to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
Chicago Controls Thermostats: A Property Manager’s Best Friend
In the world of property management, maintaining control over energy costs is paramount. One of the critical tools at your disposal to achieve this goal is the humble thermostat. But not just any thermostat – you need a solution designed with the unique needs of property managers in mind. That’s what we offer at Chicago Controls. Our thermostats are more than just temperature control devices—they’re tools to help you manage energy consumption, tenant comfort, and, ultimately, your bottom line.
Unrivaled Energy Savings
At the heart of our offering is the promise of significant energy savings. Our thermostats stand out from the competition because of their tamper-proof design. They aren’t just challenging to override – it’s impossible. The secret lies in directly adding temperature limitations to the circuit board. This innovative approach ensures that the set temperatures remain constant, preventing tenants from excessively adjusting the heating or cooling levels. In turn, this leads to consistent energy use and substantial savings on utility bills for landlords and property owners.
