Entitled Investor Expects HVAC Discount While on a Lavish 2-Month Getaway! 

Thanks bro! HVACing

@@Garth2011 everything is in the rental contract. If the owner and tenant want to discuss who takes care of what, it's all based on mutual agreement. I've never heard of a freestanding rental home that the landlord cuts the grass. It's not a hotel. Landlords don't pay utilities or cleaning or laundry services. Landlords pay for the repair of HVAC but not the operating costs (like electricity)

@@realSamAndrew The contract agreements, yes all of that can be discussed however, in my experience, renters complain about the water having to be in their name for several reasons, Most of the time, the city wants a large deposit for 1 year. Another is, the grass/yard is property of the owner so it needs maintained by the owner and since most of the water used is for landscaping, the owners should keep the water and trash in their own name then, if they want a few bucks for what the tenants use, they can review that. Just like paint on the house and the lawn service, the owner maintains that. Why would a tenant want to do the yardwork? If they agree to do it, most of them don't follow through and if the water is in their name, they won't water the lawn due to the added cost. The owners need to control that "one utility". Your response suggests I believe the owner pays for cleaning, electric, gas etc. which I didn't mention, only the water and if there is a swimming pool in the yard, a pool service. Why? To be sure the work gets done and done correctly. Tenants are known to not do well in yard maintenance and pool service. Where I live, water is expensive so, just to have the water on to maintain a lawn is $60 a month or more before using a drop of water. Tenants have said "whats next, ask us to paint the house too?". Landlords can factor this into their lease or rent like other things are. BTW, cutting the grass is home maintenance and it only helps the owner in the end. If you have ever owned rental property you will know this.

@@Garth2011 we both agree that the rental contract governs. In that regard, there are many variations. I'm sure it also differs based on the location and the local laws and standards.

Know your worth..HVAC People!!

LOL...that blower motor should have been turned off as it was moving the hot ducting and warm supply vents with hot attic temps.

I understand attic ventilators are a bad idea. They bring in humidity which makes the dew point such that the ducts sweat which causes water damage to the ceiling and also sucks the cold out of the ducts because that change of state from water vapor to water dripping absorbs more heat than a dry attick. Also the system is sized to account for the heat of the attic and the reheat of the conditioned air from the hot attic increases the run time and therefore the dehumidification of the system. Also the humidity sucked in by the ventilator will cause the insulation to become saturated with water because the entire ceiling is the same temperature as the inside of the house. If the house were not air conditioned ventilating the attic would make it cooler inside. Since the ceiling is below the dew point of the humid air it would cause moisture to cause problems, possibly toxic mold.

@@jw77019 never any of those problems. Set the fan t-stat to 105f.

I had a credit card on file from previous work. That I did end up having to charge. I might have to red flag this customer

@@SnickasBah Must be a rough paint brush

I meant t state wire to condenser. Lawn guy hit it

thermostat wiring.

@@WWHVAC ain't that the truth, they charge you money to cut your grass, and then they cost you money to repair your ac and the customer pays both times 😱. The lawn people will never fess up.

What you charge?

@WWHVAC not a business owner so what I'm told. Lol. Probably not that far off. Hopefully they pay you.
