In a continuous effort to provide the best possible experience for property owners and residents, Holland Properties has partnered with Second Nature. They are the #1 air filter subscription company in the world and help property managers reduce HVAC related maintenance calls by up to 40% every year while lowering residents’ heating and cooling bills by up to 15%.
Regular furnace filter changes are important but residents are generally not in the habit of changing their air filters. In fact, the national average of residents that reliably change filters is about 10%.
Despite being stated in the lease agreement that this is a resident responsibility, it gets neglected because it is out of sight and out of mind. Whether it be a function of simply forgetting, not being able to find the right size or quality of filter in the store, or not even knowing what an air filter is, residents (and homeowners) need a more consistent, convenient approach to this mundane chore. It often becomes too little too late before anyone realizes the filter needs to be changed, and the result usually comes in the form of a high-dollar HVAC service bill.
In speaking with property managers who use Second Nature, they report that over 90% of residents now change their filters within a few days of the delivery. This can reduce premature wear and a potential furnace replacement costing thousands of dollars.
This program continues while a property is vacant as well so that while there is cleaning, rehab or even heavier work being done the dust continues to be cleared. This assures that when a vacant property is shown it is looking its best.
