Does a high heat rating guarantee my unit will always run warm?

No. Heat performance can vary by unit layout, exposure, and maintenance. Use Openigloo to shortlist buildings, then confirm heat practices and escalation steps with the building for the specific apartment you’re considering.

What should I ask the super or leasing office before signing?

Ask how heat issues are reported, how quickly staff respond, whether thermostats are controlled in your unit, and what the building does during cold-weather seasons to keep temperatures stable.

Are the heat signals based on verified conditions at all times?

They’re based on available signals (reviews and open-data signals), which may reflect patterns rather than a guarantee for every day. Ask how they handle recent cold-weather complaints and request any relevant documentation.

How do I use the SIM6 part of the filter for real commuting?

Treat it as a location shortcut. Still check your route at the times you commute, and confirm the closest stop entrance and walk route safety (especially at night or in bad weather).

Are any additional costs included beyond the advertised rent?

Don’t assume. Ask what’s included (for example, utilities/heat if applicable), plus the security deposit and any application or move-in fees, so you can compare your full monthly cost.
