Check Your Window Seals

Did you know that your windows can be energy inefficient? Window seals are not only effective at keeping hot air out - but also at keeping cool air inside. Check your window seals checked to ensure air isn't escaping.


Ceiling Fans

If you've got ceiling fans – use them! They can be a great alternative to turning the A/C on. Most ceiling fans can have the direction of turning changed. If your fans have this, check that the fan is spinning counterclockwise, which helps force air downward.

No Oven Baked Treats

Avoiding the oven during the warmer season can help keep your home cooler. It should come as no surprise that these heat boxes can increase the temperature, especially if your home has poor ventilation. It is BBQ season, after all!

As Earth Day approaches, it's the perfect time to consider making eco-friendly updates to your rental property. Not only do these updates contribute to a healthier planet, but they can also save you some money in the long run! Energy-Efficient Lighting One of the simplest yet most impactful eco-friendly updates you can make is replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs consume significantly less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs, resulting in lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, consider installing motion sensors or timers to automatically turn off lights when not in use, further conserving energy.

In the competitive rental market, tenants often come across listings advertised as "For Rent by Owner." While these listings may seem appealing, renting directly from an individual landlord rather than through a professional property management company can pose some risks.
