“I’m going to turn the thermostat as cold as it will go.”
Your guest thinks to themselves stepping in from the hot summer sun.
Regardless whether or not your property is at a cool temperature - some guests will still turn down the thermostat…all the way.
This isn't just a challenge for your equipment, it can also be a challenge for you pocket book.
Air conditioning and heat are usually one of the largest utility expenses for most properties.
And those bills get even worse if your property is not properly equipped.
Whoa that’s a tongue twister-say that one 3x fast. “Property is not properly equipped”
Ok down to the point.
The easier the thermostat is to use the easier it is for you guests.
And they are not all created equally.
In my personal portfolio we use multiple different brands.
**But, I now have a favorite.**
I purchased a dozen or so of them and we’ve tested them…
All is looking good so I figured it’s time to pass the tips on to you all.

Epic!!

[@Devamurti108]

I am looking for a smart thermostat for an airbnb property (heating only as no a/c) . I need it to have the function where the ONLY function that the guests can access is turning the heat off or boosting it incrementally for up to say 6 hours maximum. I need it so that guests are unable to override this setting. Does this or any other thermostat have this available in the settings ? thanks !

If you run multiple restaurants, do you think those HVAC units will work with this thermostat?

[@DLEnright]

Are any thermostats able to integrate with management software (guesty etc) turn up/down etc. before/after check ins? Thanks !
