Does “highly rated for heat” guarantee a certain temperature in every unit?

No. Heat performance can vary by unit, exposure, and maintenance timing. Use the heat-focused signals as a shortlist, then verify thermostat control, radiator/forced-air setup, and the building’s heat schedule with the superintendent or leasing office.

What should I ask about heat before signing?

Ask about typical thermostat limits or regulation, how quickly heat is restored during outages, whether there have been repeated complaints, and who handles emergency heating calls. If the building provides documentation, request it before your lease starts.

Are there extra costs I should budget for even if the building is strong on heat?

Yes. Heat is only one part of your monthly budget. Check the full move-in and monthly costs shown for each building, including deposits, utilities, and any non-refundable fees.

How recent are the signals used for “best-heat”?

Openigloo’s heat signals come from available building-level data and renter context, which may not reflect every current condition. Treat them as guidance and confirm current operations with the building directly.
