Managing large homes

 

  • Your electric bill is 30% higher this month.  Is something wrong?
  • All of your bulbs are suddenly burning out much quicker. Why?
  • Two guests in a row have complained that the guest bedroom is cold.
  • The pool is taking longer to warm up than you remember.
  • It's spring - what needs to be done to get the pool house ready.
  • It's going to be 95 degrees out for 3 days straight - what was that special thing you needed to do 3 years ago?

I have a simple premise.  Without logs of both system performance and maintenance activities, it's very hard for owners to make sense of what is actually going on in a large home. And forget about tracking what happened - it's too hard.

The solution - a flight recorder for your home...operating quietly in the background keeping track of things so you don't have too.
