Not necessarily. Most landlords/maintenance staff can install in under 60 minutes. Turn off power and follow the guide; hire a contractor if unsure.
Works with 24VAC zone relay controllers using standard two-wire thermostat connections. Not for high-voltage/non-24VAC systems.
Within a few feet of the zone relay controller (where all thermostats land). Use tape for smooth surfaces, the bracket for rough wood.
Yes—connect to Wi-Fi for accurate reporting. Data usage is minimal.
Wi-Fi issues? Hold the side reset button ~5 seconds to re-enter setup.
“Heat Meter Pro fairly tracks each unit’s heating use so everyone pays their share—no one subsidizes a neighbor.”
Focus on fairness and cost control, not extra charges.
No. Tenants use their existing thermostats; monitoring is passive and doesn’t change operation.
Usage data pinpoints unusual consumption so you can address it with the tenant.

Check your local rules; many states allow cost recovery but prohibit profit.
