Subject: Heat Author: Maya [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:00:28 11/01/02 Fri Hi all. I was wondering if any of you have problems with your heat. All the blowers do in my apt is blow out cold air. I have the thermostat jacked up to 80 and everything. So I'm freezing to death and getting really irritated. Any advice would be welcome. Also, has anyone had an abnormally high gas bill? I'm not home that much and my bill has been huge. thanks, Maya [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Heat Author: Ryan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:54:07 11/02/02 Sat We had a problem with hot water/heat when we first moved in here....Although it doesnt sound like the same problem that you had we just had to run the heater at full power and run the water like crazy for about 10 minutes. George gave us this solution, and although it doesnt sound like a solution, it worked. I think also that Ezequiel can adjust something on your water heater to make the hot water hotter, and the heat hotter. Im sorry this sounds dumb but im giving you all the info I have. Our last bill seemed high to me also. ALthough it was for 2 months it was $75. We almost never cook and didnt use any heat so I was confused also. Good luck with the heat.

They told me that even when you do not use the gas, it is running all the time. I asked them then why does the water come out cold for a while if that is the case. The woman said then the gas should be checked because something's not set up correctly. Big suprise. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

We barely have any hot water in the morning. I am just waiting to se if it gets better or worse. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Heat Author: nanc [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:00:55 11/03/02 Sun My bill was about $65 this month. And it's just me in a studio. Considering I only started using heat about 2 weeks ago, that seems way high to me too. Can anyone explain to me whether is electric or gas that fuels the heaters? Why are the halls so warm? Are we paying for those heaters as well? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
