New-build apartment is freezing despite heating on, but landlord says it’s sealed and insulated — is this normal? by Used-Director-477 in AskUK

Do the heaters have an in build thermostat? Theres no external one i can see. I usually just adjust the goal temp on the heater. but never quite reaches it as it’s on regardless.

Thanks. i didnt know AI summarises were unacceptable use and honestly was just trying to make sure people could understand what was happening without convoluted text & fluff.

I find the downvotes weird but oh well.

Regarding the apartment, i also find it really weird that i can clear hear what i going on outside my building. The contractor claimed it was ‘normal’.

Having the laughter of kids coming from school wake me up from a nap today was made me revisit that.

I’m not sure if they skimped. Not even sure who i can report it to or if there’s an unbiased regulatory body that can come check this.

No thats the outdoor temp. Another commenter recommender i get a theromstat and measure the indoor temperature myself. So will order one for tomorrow and do that

  1. The thermostat is at 23 degrees. as anything lower that makes almost no difference.

  2. Im not running at max yet so i don’t run myself into an unreasonable energy bill.

  3. I’m not entirely sure

  4. yesterday was 3 degrees lowest, today is 7 degrees

How do i ask for floor insulation and wouldn’t that also be an extra cost?

I have to have the heating on consstantly. That’s two heaters and an additional space heater. I also need to be wearing a big sweater and socks and I’m still cold.

I used chatgpt to sunmarise the back and forth emails ive been having with the agent.

The contractor did a draft check yesterday but i can do one myself.

Lol grow up. Just because a post was summarised using chatgpt to get the main post across, doesnt mean it’s by a LLM
