  • i have lived in an apartment in the US wherein the heat turned on the same day every year, and ran everyday starting and ending at the same times. from what i heard from my neighbors this was not uncommon for converted homes and public housing.

    not every heating unit works like you think it does!


  • you’re assuming apartments without thermostats are logging temps and sending them back to a central unit, which is then averaging the temperature of EVERY unit in order to maintain a temperature.

    once again, occam’s razor. the way this is usually done is just running the whole building’s heat at a set temperature for a set period of time every day. literally nothing you do as a tenant will change the amount of heat coming out of your vents/radiators.
