Massachusetts Heating Laws - Heat on yet?

[Rob Beland]

To all my fellow Massachusetts investors out there that have buildings where you pay the heat have you turned your furnaces/boilers on yet? I received my first call Saturday night from a tenant that wanted to have the heat turned on. The first day of the heating season was Monday. I actually got away with waiting until today to get it turned on. Ugg...

Happy Heating!!!

@Rob Beland The cost was definitely less but oil was quite a bit less this year. I had  only one complaint about temperature in the apartment but even that was a fleeting one. I think it was due to the apartment being two floors and if you don't close the door all the hot air goes upstairs.   I am going to evaluate gallons used when winter is over. We are also going to install a shutoff at then end of the heating season.  That is one of the points where they have heat on and windows open.  I think it helps that there is nothing obvious on the thermostats that says they only go to 71.
