We'll see how it goes. If I had any confidence that the landlord would reimburse me the money I would have done it awhile ago. It's an old oil furnace and I've heard those are more expensive to repair/fill up, plus at some point in the house's life it had carpet and when the tenants/and or landlord decided it didn't need carpets anymore they tore it up and shoved all the spongey underlay in the airducts, so those need to be cleaned out before any heat can traverse through them, which is doubly annoying. In any case I'm not going to be able to convince anybody to do anything more than just try to button up the house until our electric bill for the month comes in and we can see just how expensive these fu
cking space heaters are.
