A few weeks ago, the Phoenix Business Journal real estate reporter, Jan Buchholz wrote a story about Trillium’s newest community: Sotelo, located in Tempe just minutes from ASU Campus, downtown Scottsdale, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and many major employment offices.
The heat is on in Arizona and so are the air conditioners! In order to allow you to stay as cool as possible in the Arizona “Dry Heat,” here are a few tips to keep you cool and reduce your cooling costs while living in your Trillium Phoenix apartment, or anywhere for that matter!
Tip #1 – Replace your air conditioner filter and keep it clean, especially during this heavy usage time. This helps the system run more efficient and keeps your home less dusty. We recommend that during the summer months you replace A/C filters every 30 days. Simply call the office and we’ll stop by and change it for you, complimentary!
Tip # 2 – Did you know that it takes more energy to cool your home down than to keep it at a consistent, comfortable temperature? Therefore, refrain from turning your system off when you go to work or leave for the day.
Tip #3 – Keeping your blinds closed will make a dramatic impact in overall cost savings, especially on windows that have a southern or western exposure.
Tip #4 – Be diligent about keeping all unneeded lights turned off. The heat from the bulbs adds to the increased temperature in your home.
If you encounter a problem with your A/C unit – please turn it off and call the office for immediate service assistance.
A few items to watch for are:
System not cooling
System producing only hot air
Water dripping from the air return or secondary drain
It’s going to be a HOT summer here in Phoenix, Arizona, and there is no better way to spend a scorching summer evening then lounging in the pool (believe me, we know!). So, we’ve started Dive In Movies at Trillium this June (and all summer long). Last night marked the first event atTrillium Deer Valley, our North Phoenix apartment community located at 7th street & the 101.
The pool was packed when more than 60 residents (and lots of little ones) showed up to relax at the pool to watch the new version of Alice in Wonderland, which was just released on DVD this past week. Trillium provided free hots dogs, soda, chips and candy to all movie-goers.
Dive In Movies will be featured once a month at Trillium Cave Creek, Trillium Deer Valley, Trillium Papago and Trillium Pinnacle Peak throughout the summer. Be sure to check out the monthly event calendars so you don’t miss the date and time of the movie at your Phoenix apartment community!
Recently, Trillium decided to begin working with Resident Ambassadors to further their outreach to the community. We’ve sat down with each of them and are ready to introduce you! We’ve asked all four Trillium Resident Ambassadors the same 15 questions to get to know them a little better and more importantly, how to stay in touch with them on Facebook!
Marc Listrani is your Resident Ambassador at Trillium Pinnacle Peak. His creativity and love of life is synonymous with Trillium’s culture. We enjoyed getting to know Marc!
We chatted with Lacey Benz and Steve Zimmerman, the lucky winners of the Trillium Phoenix apartment free rent for one year contest. Here’s what they had to say about their experience throughout the contest, getting votes, and how they’ll spend all the money they will save on rent for the next year.
It came down to an insanely close race, but we’re excited to announce the winner of the year free rent at Trillium Phoenix apartments is…. Lacey and Steve!
Lacey & Steve won by getting 35% (3,349 votes) of the overall votes for their video. The runner-up, Bethany, had nearly 30% (2,788 votes) of the overall votes.
