You can save with mass system replacements.
Many older, garden-style apartment complexes run on outdated heating and cooling systems. Inefficient and often expensive utility costs put you at a competitive disadvantage. To make things worse, the time and cost of repair and maintenance are burdensome. Trimark Mechanical offers a variety of cost-effective solutions that not only reduce operational headache, but make older complexes more competitive in the rental market.
Does your HVAC equipment require more than 3-4 service visits per year?
Do feel like every spare moment gets hijacked by unexpected maintenance issues? Many property managers lose productivity and precious budget dollars to needy HVAC equipment. Older HVAC systems face recurring issues that are due to both age and out-of-date technology. Service visits can suck hours, sometimes even days, out of your schedule.
Are you losing tenants because your heating and cooling systems are out of date?
One of the most common questions tenants ask before signing the dotted line is: how much do utilities average? If you avoid answering this question, it’s a sign your HVAC system is hurting your competitive edge. At the very least, it’s not doing you any favors. Aside from controlling monthly costs, tenants demand to have more control over their environment. Gone are the days when temperamental old units would be “good enough.”New technology gives tenants total control over their environment. Finally, the popularity of green and LEED-certified buildings shows property managers that sustainability is becoming key. If tenants can have it all they’ll take it: low utility costs, total control, and reduced environmental impact.
How much can you sacrifice the bottom line?
Increased costs and lost revenue make for a very bad mix. Since maintenance costs and large-scale replacements invariably come out of different budgets, it might be time to think strategically about replacement. Some utility companies even offer incentives for residential properties to switch to updated, energy-efficient systems. You may be surprised at the cost-savings associated with bulk replacement. Let our team perform a cost analysis on your property to determine the impact on your budget of replacement versus maintenance.
