I have a customer that owns an old 40 unit hotel asked me to install one of those power saving devices:lol: He paid $250 for it I told him to send it back.
Anyway he rents to people that stay for extended periods of time months even years. All rooms have electric baseboard heat and I told him that is the bulk of your electric bill right there. His guests crank the heat to the max and go out to work during the day.
Is thier a thermostat line voltage that maxes out to like 72 degrees or 70? He tried lose lock boxes over the stats but he said people still mess with them.
He also has about 2 inches of insualtion above the rooms and I told him get more instulation up there like r19 at least.
So if he does the insulation and thermostats (if they are available) would that lower his electric bill dramatically? In my opinion it would.
