Those of use in older apartments have no way to adjust the heat. Thank god for space heaters and blankets and hot tea.

But if I could adjust my heat, I would not set it that high. We grew up closing off rooms, opening taps and wearing socks and sweaters.

Even setting 5 or 10 degrees higher than normal is a good idea. You don't have to crank it way up. Grew up the same. Live the same now.

I literally have no control over the heat in my apartment. It's an old building and we all share the same heat, set by the property manager :(

thx, but it's pretty typical for really old buildings in town. I'm just glad to have an apt.

I understand and completely agree. My building was built in 1900, old windows, no insulation, but each unit does have their own heat. As crappy as it can be, I am right there with you, very glad to have a place to call home
