It is difficult to keep up with today’s rental market. As you probably know, there are only two ways to keep yourself ahead in the real estate business. The first is to raise your profits, which typically means raising the rent for your tenants; the other is to cut your expenses. In this competitive market, increasing your tenants’ rent may cost you your tenants, as tenants may easily choose to go elsewhere. With the market being what it is, it would be easy for them to find buildings with reduced rental prices. Consequently, the best way to increase your profits would be to lower your costs. By installing solar heating tubes you could significantly reduce your heating costs and your carbon footprint at the same time.

 

Irrespective of who your tenants are, regardless of whether you are leasing residential apartments, industrial, commercial, or any other kind of building, your tenants are sure to use hot water. It’s likely that your heating system is one of your larger expenses. Using solar heating tubes to heat your water will take a large bite out of the money you spend on the electricity you need to consume to keep your tenants in hot water, therefore slashing your bills (and your bottom line) considerably. Whats more, solar heating tubes are a lot more efficient than solar power panels and will operate whatever the weather.

 

Solar heating tubes are basically cylinders that take in and store the suns energy. The shape of the tubes makes them more effective, allowing them to receive sunlight all day long. Solar panels, on the other hand, require direct sunlight and so can only collect energy for shorter periods every day.

 

The solar heating tubes produce energy inside the cylinder, transferring that energy to an inner blade and inside that, a tube of liquid. The liquid super-heats to 170 degrees Fahrenheit and that heat energy is brought into your heating system.  Quite simply, this means that your solar heating tubes are able to efficiently do their job, namely heat your building’s water. Solar heating tubes also give you an additional way to reduce heating costs; by using that heated water to heat the building itself.

 

The bottom line is that solar heating tubes reduce heating costs. If you can reduce your expenses and subsequently lower your rates, this will give you an edge in a competitive market. As climate change experts call for more people to switch to renewable forms of energy, you should seriously consider investing in solar heating tubes to reduce your heating costs and increase your profit margin. Look into government programs that will defer some of the costs associated with installing solar heating rods and other environmentally friendly energy sources.

 

Of all of the benefits of solar heating tubes, conceivably the best benefit to installing solar heating tubes to your buildings comes from the satisfaction your tenants have realizing that you are doing everything you can to bring down any costs for yourself and for them. You might even find, should you be advertising for new tenants, that tenants are willing to pay more to rent buildings that are environmentally friendly.
