Why? It's a rental unit. You're not going to live there. Why do you care
what
the heating system is?

I hate to think what the electric heat is going to cost
with base board.

Why do you care what electric heat is going to cost, if the tenant pays
the
bill?


Doug , think of it this way...

Cheaper heating for tenant.
Cheaper heat means they have more money after paying the heating bill.

More money in their pockets means they can afford to pay you more rent.
Making it more affordable for you to invest money into the rental property.
Investing money in your rental, raises its market value.
I'd rather make the money than let the power company make it.
It also lowers pollution.

Higher rent.
This also gets you a better renter.
Higher rent normally weeds out the renters that move from place to place
looking for cheap rent.
Which could lead to a renter who won't take care of your property.

Getting a better renter.
This means you'll likely rent your home and keep it rented.
This also means more money in your pocket, as the home isn't sitting empty,
waiting for a renter.
