Quick answer: Pfitztech sets up and remotely manages the technology that makes a Kelowna vacation rental run itself: smart locks with automatic guest codes, reliable guest WiFi, privacy-safe noise monitoring, and remote troubleshooting — installed by a licensed local contractor and monitored so you don’t get the 11 PM “the WiFi is down” call. Ideal for out-of-town owners. Call (250) 575-5721.
Short-term rentals are back in Kelowna — run yours professionally
With Kelowna’s short-term rental zoning reopening in 2026, thousands of units are returning to the market. The owners who win bookings are the ones whose guest experience never breaks: door codes that just work, WiFi that streams on day one, and problems fixed remotely before a guest leaves a 3-star review over connectivity.
What we install
- Smart locks & door access — automatic per-guest codes tied to your booking calendar (Airbnb/VRBO), backup entry methods, battery alerts, and full code history. No more lockboxes or 2 AM lockout drives.
- Guest-grade WiFi — enterprise UniFi access points with a segmented guest network: guests get fast internet, your locks, cameras and thermostats stay on a protected network they can’t touch.
- Noise & occupancy awareness (privacy-safe) — decibel-level monitoring (no audio recording) alerts you to the party before the neighbours do — protecting your licence.
- Exterior security & monitoring — doorbell and exterior cameras placed for bylaw and platform compliance (never inside), with remote viewing.
- Smart thermostats & energy control — stop heating an empty suite; auto-setback between stays.
Remote management for out-of-town owners
Most rental tech problems are network problems — and almost all of them can be fixed remotely on our managed platform: we see the outage, power-cycle the equipment, reissue a door code, or walk a guest through reconnecting, from wherever we are. Monthly management includes 24/7 monitoring, updates, backups, and priority on-site dispatch when hardware needs hands. One monthly rate per property; multi-property discounts for hosts and property managers.
Frequently asked questions
What does a vacation rental tech setup cost?
A typical one-unit package — smart lock, guest WiFi network, noise sensor, doorbell camera — is generally in the $1,500–$3,500 installed range depending on the property, plus a monthly management plan. Fixed quote after a short assessment.
Are cameras and noise monitoring allowed in rentals?
Exterior cameras (disclosed in your listing) and decibel-level noise sensors without audio recording are the platform-compliant standard. We install to Airbnb/VRBO rules and BC privacy expectations — never interior cameras.
Can door codes sync with my booking calendar?
Yes — codes can be generated per reservation and expire at checkout automatically.
Do you support property managers with multiple units?
Yes — we standardize the stack across your portfolio and monitor every unit from one dashboard, with per-door pricing.
