Laundry rooms are an essential component of apartment buildings. Residents rely on laundry machines to wash and dry their clothes. However, if the machines are faulty, outdated, or inefficient, they can create a host of problems, including long queues for the building residents and high energy bills for building owners and managers. Laundry room problems are a common reason residents get frustrated and move out. This leads to a poor reputation and a low retention rate for apartment buildings.
At Automatic Industries, Inc., we provide multi-family building laundry solutions by optimizing your laundry facilities and offering you a new source of revenue. We will provide you with high-quality laundry equipment that we own and maintain. We also process all the collections. This allows you to get the laundry solutions your multi-dwelling building needs without any added stress for you.
Our service is a source of revenue for you as we pay the rent to use your space. To learn more, continue reading.
Types of Laundry Equipment Ideal for Apartment Buildings
Laundry room equipment comes in various shapes and sizes. It helps to know the types of laundry machines so you can make informed decisions on what your apartment building needs.
Commercial Washers and Dryers
Commercial washers and dryers are designed to handle high usage, making them ideal for apartment buildings. We offer laundry card systems, credit card payment systems, and mobile app payment systems with our commercial machines — the choice is up to you!
The durability of commercial laundry machines is an important consideration as the high volume requires the machines to withstand frequent use while continuing to deliver consistent performance. Another important factor to consider is the size of these machines. Commercial washers and dryers come in various sizes, and you don’t want massive machines that undercut your energy efficiency when you can get by with smaller options- our team of experts will recommend the best configuration of machines for your property.
Some modern washers and dryers come with advanced tools, such as programmable settings and smart controls. You will have to assess your specific requirements to determine which type of laundry machine is most suited to your apartment complex.
Stackable and Compact Models
Space is often an important factor in apartment buildings, and that’s why stackable models for laundry equipment are so popular. Laundry machines that can stack offer the most practical solutions to limited space. Depending on the dimensions of the room, stackable models can help increase the capacity of the room, allowing more residents to get their laundry done without enduring a lengthy wait.
Energy-Efficient Options
While energy efficiency is a feature in several types of laundry machines, some are specifically designed to maximize energy savings. Even small savings in energy bills can accumulate to a substantial amount in the long run. With rising energy costs, energy-efficient options have become increasingly popular with apartment building owners and managers. An added benefit of these machines is that you reduce your carbon footprint as you consume less energy. Central laundry facilities aren’t just beneficial to building utility costs and energy efficiency. They also save residents on their costs since in-unit washers and dryers use 3x more water and energy than a central laundry room. By having these facilities, building owners and residents win.
Multi-Load Size Options
Multi-load-size laundry machines cater to the diverse laundry needs of residents. They can be used for laundry loads of all sizes.
To choose the best type of laundry equipment, you must consider size, efficiency, cost, and other factors. It can often get a bit overwhelming to decide which laundry machines are best for your building. You can offload this burden by allowing Automatic Industries, Inc. to install and manage your laundry facility. As a local, family-owned and operated company serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, we understand the laundry needs of apartment buildings in the tri-state area.
Key Features to Consider with Laundry Room Equipment for Apartment Buildings
Programmable Controls
Programmable controls have become one of the most popular features of laundry room equipment. This feature allows you to customize the wash and dry cycles based on your needs.
The top models come with an intuitive user interface, making it easy to adjust the settings. Programmable controls help with choosing the correct cycle for the fabric of your clothing. Our team is happy to show you how these controls can benefit you during a free consultation.
Smart and Connected Features
Apartment residents are more tech-savvy than ever before. Not only will they appreciate these smart and connected features, but this technology can also help building owners with energy optimization and payment integration.
As there are a variety of smart and connected features, you would have to assess your needs to determine which tools suit you. The most popular tools for smart and connected features include remote monitoring and mobile apps.
Maintenance Requirements
It’s frustrating for apartment residents to find laundry room machines out of order or under maintenance. While even the best machines will need maintenance or the occasional repair, building owners should strive to minimize laundry room downtime. The best way to do this is to have machines that offer excellent durability and reliability so that minimal maintenance and repairs are needed.
Automatic Industries, Inc. handles all maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about it. We understand the importance of regular maintenance as it helps provide uninterrupted operation of the laundry facility. Our boutique-style laundry services provide fast response times with 24-hour service to get things back up and running quickly.
The Role of Technology in NY Apartment Building Laundry Service
New laundry equipment through the top brands means less worries with maintenance or broken machinery. While we include repairs and maintenance in our services, you’ll have greater peace of mind with the best machines that utilize the latest technology. Additionally, these top brands are energy-efficient, providing greater benefits to everyone.
We also simplify life for both you and your tenants with laundry cards that use smart card technology. This prevents issues with theft and vandalism where cash would be a concern. Residents of your NYC building will additionally find it easier to load these hassle-free cards rather than cobble together change or run to the bank to break larger bills.
With these modern solutions, we’ve helped our clients improve their buildings, operations, and resident lease retention in the city. Let us help you wash away your worries through our services today.
Benefits of Upgrading to Automatic Industries Laundry Machines
Building and managing a laundry room facility can be challenging. However, it doesn’t have to be. You can rely on us at Automatic Industries, Inc. for all your laundry facility needs. We have built and operated laundry rooms in all types of facilities, including apartment buildings, condos, multiple dwellings, and colleges. Here’s how we can improve the experience for you as the owner or manager as well as all the residents that call your building home:
Improved Building Quality and Satisfaction Rates
The quality of laundry room services is vital to the overall experience of apartment building tenants. Our services can help you improve tenant satisfaction and retention rates by making life easier for residents. We keep your facilities in tip-top condition with new commercial grade laundry equipment. There’s incredible value in living in a building that has an up-to-date laundry facility as this means tenants don’t need to take their laundry to a laundromat at odd hours.
Reduced Costs of Operations
With our laundry room solutions, you can enjoy cost savings in terms of reduced utility costs and no maintenance costs. You also add another revenue item through the rent we pay you for using your space.
You don’t have to invest in equipment either, which can be a significant amount and can disrupt your cash flow. Rather, you can enlist our services where you don’t have to buy, operate, or maintain laundry room equipment.
In addition, with optimized laundry facilities, you can enjoy enhanced property value and better marketing ability to grow your revenue. Whether you are looking to build a new laundry room or upgrade existing machines, we can simplify the process for you as we handle all aspects of laundry service.
Improved Energy-Efficiency and Long-Lasting Durability
We provide equipment that lasts while minimizing your carbon footprint. Saving energy will save you money on your operational costs. Along with these durable machines, you will have little to no downtime in the laundry room. If any of your machines break down, our 24-hour maintenance services mean you’ll have less stress.
Conventional Laundry Facilities vs Automatic Industries
Plenty of building managers choose to pick each washer and dryer on their own, often investing a great deal in the equipment. Problems arise as equipment depreciates and wears down. Often, the goal is to keep costs down, and a big mistake is to purchase the cheapest washer and dryer models available.
The result is that broken machines lead to lengthy downtime while awaiting repairs. With machines that aren’t functional, it forces residents to wait for their fellow neighbors to finish their laundry or to go out in search of a laundromat. One of the deciding factors for many residents in these buildings throughout the city is whether or not there is a laundry room on-site. When that laundry area can’t fulfill their needs, it makes it less likely they’ll stick around.
Automatic Industries bridges that gap and solves all the common issues that arise in laundry rooms. Whether you have little space to work with or plenty of room, we can install the right machines to fulfill your needs. We maintain and repair them at no cost to you. Plus, we rent your space and generate revenue for your building that you can use to continue to make improvements your residents will love. It’s the ultimate win-win solution for owners and tenants alike!
