I live in a two bedroom basement apt. Rental is 600CAD/month, including utilities. However my land lord is from Alaska and thinks nothing much abt switching the heater on. Actually, he thinks I am from Siberia and don’t require the heating system. I hv requested twice already to switch the heating on atleast in the night so the kids don’t suffer when they go to bed. So far he has been deaf and the heating system is in sub zero..
I guess I didn’t hv much choice and went and bought a nice heater.. it is 1500 watts.. so each time i switch it on, the electricity meter will do a nice jogging, it would hv been cheaper if my land lord from Alaska,switched on the heating system which uses natural gas and is cheaper… Alas..he thinks he is smarter..cause he is controlling how much heating i get, and i am waiting with baited breath for the moment he gets his electricity bill
