(It costed us $6k in oil the first 3 months of winter when we took over the property)The previous owner had the 1st tenant control the thermostat and had been spending over $10k in oil every year.Now, we installed NEST to control the temperature from our phone and have invested in changing the heat to gas.The heater has been on since the temperature has dropped to 40degrees at night.We have set it to 73 degrees.This morning I get a call from my 1st floor tenant that the heater is not working that it is too cold.I contacted my 2nd and 3rd floor tenant and they say it seems cold but they use portable electrical heater in the room to keep them warm.We are planning on renewing the lease and need to raise the rent.
