central heat and air
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
If an apartment advertises central air / heat, does that mean that the AC and heat are included in the price?
If not, why would an apartment building brag about such an ammenity, is this more energy efficient? I’ve lived in a dorm with central heat and some students would open their windows and the thought of such possibilities scares me when it comes to my electric bill. Thanks
No, it just means that it has central heat and air. You’ll only be paying the bills for your own unit so if your neighbor leaves his windows open it won’t have any affect on your utility bills.
Some older units may still have space heaters and window AC units. Central heat and air is generally considered preferable. It’s usually more efficient, it looks better, and is often safer.
