Winter Energy Savings

Assuming it gets cold at some point here, I put together a list of energy saving tips for NYC apartment dwellers:

1) Make sure your furniture is not blocking the radiator.
2) Keep windows closed. Sometimes it's tempting to open them because the entire apartment can be set too high, with some units cooler than others.
3) Wear extra clothing. Building owners are not required to crank up the heat so you can walk around in your underwear!
4) Let in as much sunlight as possible. This means leaving the blinds open during the day and keeping the glass clean.
5) Remove your window AC... it lets in drafts even if you wrap it in plastic.
