Install smart thermostats in 4 unit with a boiler?
My heating bill is 300-400/month in the winter months. Is it worth installing smarter technology in each individual unit? If so what would you recommend?

Same scenario, I invested in Chicago Controls auto set back thermostats. They have saved me a fortune, tamper proof and tenants can adjust (somewhat).
One is an auto set back every 3 hours- so no matter what the tenant sets it will reset to 68 in 3 hours.
The one I use goes to 70 at 6 am
65 at 9 am
70 at 5pm
65 at 9 pm
The tenant can max it out to 71 but it will only last until the next scheduled adjustment. Love them!
