How Energy Efficient Are You?

Sarah Little, secret shopper and lover of the air conditioner writes about the heat wave.

Welcome to PhoneSmart’s Property Management blog, a diary of the property management industry.

On Monday, MSN.com showed a man leaning into a spouting fire hydrant to escape from the “Blistering Heat”. The subtitle mentioned that temps in the Midwest reached the 100’s. I chuckled out loud when I read it and said to Natalie, “I think they’re about a week behind on the news.” I know we had a few triple digit days within the past week or so.

When the sun starts beating down most of us start cranking up the AC. I’m probably the fist one to give into the temptation to turn the AC down (or up, depending on how you look at it). At any rate, I like it to stay cool in my home. Joel and I noticed a large increase in last month’s electric bill. So I’m a bit more hesitant to adjust my thermostat anymore. Instead, I wonder what we can to do create a more energy efficient home.

If you’re a commercial property management facility, then upgrading or revamping a few details may help save on your energy bills. Consider some of the property management trends in newer constructions similar to your business. Find out what they may be doing and learn how to incorporate some new technology into your existing site.

Residential property management companies can benefit from the same upgrades. Tenants will appreciate it and your buildings will be better prepared to fight the heat.
