I have tenants who crank up the heat in the winter while their windows are open.  

They're no more dangerous than any other heating source as long as the tenant uses/maintains it properly.

My thought process for not including the major and minor repair savings, is because ideally I have already replaced all of the major long life common home expenses (roof, appliances, heating and air, etc).

Just to get the heat, water, gas and electric back on can have a lot of unknowns involved.

Block constructed houses also take less to cool/heat and the insurance savings is significant.

I prorated rent for the days they had no heat and had to use electric (48 hours) and credited for cleaning.

It sounds like you are paying the heat bill?  

I'm not looking to buy this property, just become more fluid in analyzing deals and this is the first time I wasn't able to determine a properties previous taxes.   

My contractor realized they are having issues heating the house to their liking.

The heating was not cited.
