My girlfriend's apartment is always cold and she has huge heating bills, so she asked me to take a look at it. I found some major problems:

1) Lack of ceiling insulation
- Hard to fix without the landlord kicking in
2) Very thin curtains
- Easy to fix
3) Very little daytime heating (her windows all face north, away from the sun's path in the winter)
- Can't do anything about it
4) Only three functioning heating outlets - one in bedroom and one in kitchen. The other one is in a room she doesn't use so it's blocked off

And the kitchen outlet is a foot around the corner from the system inlet in the living room! What kind of retard came up with his HVAC system?

As a result of this, her thermostat is in the living room but the living room is always 5-10 degrees cooler than her dining room/bedroom due to two large windows and the fact that all of her living room heating is being sucked back into the system.

Any ideas on this? I think her only option is to block off the living room from the kitchen with a curtain (it's connected via a small doorway) so that her kitchen heating isn't wasted and buy heavy curtains for the windows. I have no idea how the living room could possibly be heated with no outlets in the room. There is one outlet but it doesn't appear to be working. I'll have to call the landlord about that. Unfortunately, he's incredibly stupid and knows nothing about home repair. He paid a mexican guy $200 to install a fucking toilet :rofl: I told him to give me $50 and I'd do it but he wouldn't
