Although picking the right commercial laundry machines can be challenging, partnering with Fowler can make the decision easier for housing authorities in Hoboken.

Before buying or leasing laundry machines, poll residents to gauge demand. This can eventually inform the type of laundry equipment you get and the number of machines you get. Then, consider the facility’s wants and needs. For example, if you have specific goals for the design of the space, our turnkey solution can help you realize them. Or, if you are mainly focused on keeping costs low, we can help with our leasing option for housing authorities in Hoboken. Energy-efficient equipment can lower long-term costs, and clients can rely on our skilled technicians’ dedicated service if they need repairs.

How to Pick Managed Laundry Machines for Housing Authorities in Hoboken

Purchasing many commercial laundry machines can be a sizeable undertaking, and you want to ensure you make the right decision. This may be especially true if you are deciding not only for yourself but also for housing authority residents in Hoboken. Our team can help you pick the right equipment by identifying the demand among residents and the wants and needs of the facility at large.

Identify the Demand Among Residents

We can start by determining the demand among residents, which can help us figure out how many machines you need to service the housing authority’s residents. Though needs vary, you might need about one set of washers and dryers per ten residents. Based on the average number of residents at the facility at any given time and your desires for your equipment, we can identify which machines are best for the job and how many you will need to service residents.

A common issue in laundromats and other laundry rooms is users spreading laundry loads across multiple machines. With high-capacity equipment from Fowler Laundry Solutions, housing authority laundry rooms can be in use by multiple residents at once. This can shorten wait times and reduce frustrations among residents in Hoboken. Depending on the facility’s population, you might need fewer of our large-capacity machines than you initially anticipated.

Again, keeping residents in mind, consider what might make laundry services more accessible to them. One way might be by offering multiple payment options, instead of just coin payment. For example, through PayRange, residents can use EBT cards or other forms of digital payment to cover loads of laundry.

A great way to determine the demand among residents and which amenities or features they would appreciate in the laundry room is by surveying them. Explain the perks of your services and gauge their interest. For example, if your facility’s rates are lower and more easily accessible than the nearest laundromat, residents may choose yours.

Identify the Facility’s Wants

It is also important to identify your goals for the project. For example, if you want to give residents a comfortable place to do their laundry while residing at a housing facility, our designers can offer that through our turnkey solution. Through this option, clients can rely on experienced designers to create an attractive and welcoming laundry room for residents in Hoboken.

The turnkey solution can also help you get an efficient laundry room. For example, we can incorporate stackable washers and dryers into our design. This can help with the flow of the laundry room, letting residents easily transfer clothing from one machine to another without creating much traffic. We can also design a laundry room so that it is easy for staff to maintain and access machines if necessary.

Consider the perks of digital payment and how it can also aid with efficiency. PayRange can reduce operational overhead for housing authorities by collecting laundry machine payments regularly. This leaves time for your staff to focus on more pressing matters than collecting coins from laundry machines in Hoboken. While offering the choice of digital payment is good, eliminating the option of coin payment is not necessarily positive for all facilities. Doing this might alienate some residents who prefer to use coins to pay for loads of laundry, encouraging them to use another facility’s services over yours.

Identify the Facility’s Needs

You should also consider what you need out of the laundry room at a housing authority. For example, you might want to keep upfront and ongoing costs low. You can do this in several ways, the first being through leasing equipment. While we offer attractive purchasing solutions for clients in Hoboken, you can also rent the same high-tech laundry machines to stay within budget. Leasing can give you the advanced equipment you want for housing authority residents at a lower price.

The type of equipment you pick can also save you money in the long term. For example, if you invest in eco-friendly Energy Star-certified machines from Fowler, you may spend less on water and energy costs. Furthermore, our dependable equipment is designed to be long-lasting, so you should not have to worry about possible machine replacement for many years, even if you anticipate frequent use from residents.

Another common need? Reliable service. For many decades, we have provided dedicated and responsive service to clients in Hoboken and elsewhere. The Fowler Service Guarantee is part of all our solutions, even if you lease equipment. The same is true of our Fowler Replacement Guarantee as well. You should request service at the first sign of a problem. Though our machines are built for longevity, unforeseen circumstances might cause unavoidable problems. If that happens, our technicians can promptly address the problem so your residents are not inconvenienced.

If you have more specific needs for your laundry room, do not hesitate to tell our team and we can determine the best path forward for your facility and its residents in Hoboken.
