Where do the heat scores come from?

Openigloo compiles renter-reported signals and building-level patterns from reviews and notes tied to the buildings in the feed. You can read the underlying comments to see what residents experienced and how the building handled it.

Is a high heat rating a guarantee that every unit will be warm all winter?

No. Heat can vary by unit layout, exposure, and building systems. Use the rating to shortlist buildings, then ask targeted questions about your specific unit before signing.

What should I ask management to avoid surprises about heating?

Ask how heat is regulated for your unit type, what the usual response time is for heating complaints, and whether there are past recurring issues for the same boiler or HVAC system.

Utilities matter even if the building is rated well for heat—what should I check?

Confirm whether heat is included in the rent and how other utility costs are handled. The full monthly cost (including utilities and any required fees) can differ even when the building’s heating performance is strong.

How should I use Openigloo’s Q&A and reviews when comparing buildings?

Search for mentions of heating response, documented fixes, and whether issues were resolved promptly. Then compare multiple buildings using the same questions so your shortlist is based on consistent criteria.
