Cincinnati, OH. Apartment complex is split in two halves (firewall in between).
One half is normal. Other half is 40-50 degrees.
Started Friday morning, thermostat at 70, temperature at 65. By noon it drifted down to 60.
Come to find out entire side of the building was like this. Was even very noticeable walking the hallways that half the building was exceptionally cold, half was normal.
Apartment manager was very specific that the furnaces are not broken. Tried to say they ‘weren’t keeping up.’ However I know how little they run to keep me warm on a normal cold day. Just because it was zero outside in no way would make the furnace only able to maintain 45 degrees. He also kept dodging my questions, giving corporate responses. Talked like a CIA trained drone/politician.
The only answer is curtailing, Whether by the apartment complex or by the electric utility.
Wanted to see if anyone else had issues?
Update: this morning I walked back to my half of the building. Crossing the halfway firewall, it was noticeably warmer than the last 2 days
Entered my apartment and was 50 degrees instead of the 38 it had been sitting at
This is with my furnace deactivated (of course they haven’t came back to turn mine back on). So just residual heat from the surrounding apartments I am running at 50 degrees despite still being only 17 degrees outside
Which tells me everyone’s furnace is fully operating now
This is obvious curtailing but no one wants to admit it
I need to move
