Also I have a few electric space heaters in the event of a heater breakdown that I can deliver to tenants until the HVAC system is repaired.Having done Fire/Arson investigation and inspection you'd be surprised some of the things people will do to try and heat interior living spaces either "cheaper" or to a higher temperature then their normal heat will provide, most of the times this ends in tragedy. 

In the past few months, they became unhappy with their electric bill and involved ConED to investigate our home.
