I am a landlord for a small more than four device building as well as I am thinking about replacing the window air conditioner units with an alternative.
I purchased the building about many years ago as well as it came with the window A/C units.
Window A/C was pretty much the only viable option for air conditioner when the building was originally built, so I guess the previous owner wanted to keep it going to preserve some of that historic charm. However, several of my tenants always run into troubles with the window air conditioners, as well as I can only make so several replacements before it becomes a immense waste of cash. I’m thinking about switching to a ductless mini split system. They kind of look love window air conditioners however they are more durable, have better air purifying elements, as well as add in the element of heating! Window air conditioners do not have the option to heat, as well as I know that has been a immense pain point for tenants here, but luckily both of us live in a pretty sizzling state, so I know that they aren’t freezing to death in their apartments, however I still guess it would be nice to have that comfort after a long hard afternoon. I know that I love to assume comfortable in my home, so why wouldn’t I want them to assume the same way? This was a big reason I decided to buy a building as well as start being a landlord. I have had so several landlords simply not like the building as well as how it was impacting us. I’ve even had strenuous troubles with my health because of it. I easily like the comfort of my tenants because I want them to have a relaxing experience as well as choose to live there for a long time.
