What does the “best-heat” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal based on Openigloo’s heat-related data for rated buildings. Still, conditions vary by unit and season, so ask the building directly how heating works for the specific apartment you’re considering.

How should I use “SIM8 bus” when comparing buildings?

Treat it as an accessibility/location filter. Verify the exact route and walking time from the building to your typical stop, since bus schedules and traffic can affect commute patterns.

Do heat signals guarantee a warm apartment every day?

No. The filter helps you narrow down buildings with better heat-related signals, but day-to-day comfort depends on unit layout, insulation, and how the building runs the system. Confirm with the building for the exact unit.

What should I ask about heating before I apply?

Ask about thermostat control, heating schedules, hot-water/heating inclusion rules in the lease, typical response time for maintenance, and whether they can document any recent heating outages.

Are there extra costs I should watch beyond the rent?

Yes. Even with strong heat signals, the total monthly cost can change based on utilities and lease terms, plus broker fees/deposits where applicable. Confirm the full breakdown before committing.

What if a building has mixed feedback but still ranks for best-heat?

That can happen when tenant experiences vary by stack, exposure, or system behavior across seasons. Use Openigloo comments to identify patterns, then request unit-specific confirmation from management.
