Winter Prep Tips for Stamford Rental Apartments
Our recent snow storm not-withstanding, the fall season with its cooler temps has arrived, and we can finally put away our warm-weather gear with confidence and look forward to many months of snuggling under a blanket in our Stamford rental apartments. Here at the Stamford Apartment, your heat is already included in the monthly rent so you needn’t worry about high heating bills.
Whether you live in Morgan Manor, Hoyt-Bedford or The Townhouse, our building’s heating system will automatically come on when the temperature falls below 65 degrees. You can help conserve energy by removing any air conditioners from your windows, and storing them until next spring. Air conditioning units left in windows allow for cold air to enter while the warm air flows right outside. Keeping your curtains or blinds open during the day to allow sunlight to warm your apartment, and then closing them at night to keep out the cold is also a time-honored practice here in the Northeast.
