One boiler, two families, one thermostat
In two-flats that share a boiler, one unit often controls the heat for both. Zoning the boiler with a thermostat per unit ends the arguments and can lower the gas bill.
Water heater rusting at the base
Rust or dampness around the bottom of a tank water heater usually means it’s near the end. Replacing it before it leaks avoids a flooded basement.
