Heat and cooling solution for Section 8 rental
Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some feedback from Section 8 landlords. I'm working on my first rehab that will be designated as a S8 rental. This will be in Macon, GA and the guidelines state the house must have a heat source. The property is a duplex that will have window units as a cooling source. The only problem with getting the heating/cooling window units is the amount of electricity needed to run them. I would have to put all 4 units on separate breakers which would be very costly. Electrician is telling me that even then, I would have to get the city to provide more voltage to the house in order to make this happen.
Do any current S8 landlords use something outside of a central HVAC unit for their places? If so, what do you use? Any recommendations on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
