Address Excessive Heating Costs and Cold Air Ventilation in Respond Housing Apartments
We, the residents of Millers Glen Apartments, are raising a collective concern about the heating and ventilation systems in our homes. These issues are affecting our comfort, health, and financial wellbeing.
Why is this important?
Our Concerns
- The electric heating system is extremely expensive to run, leading to unusually high electricity bills for many residents.
- Some residents are afraid to use the heaters due to the cost.
- Others are forced to limit heating to 1–2 hours per day or limiting the heating to 1 room, which is not enough to keep homes warm.
- The ventilation system blows cold air continuously, making it very difficult, and sometimes impossible to heat our apartments properly.
- These issues create cold, uncomfortable living conditions, especially for families, older residents, and those with health conditions.
What We Are Asking For
We respectfully request that Respond Housing:
- Assess the ventilation system to determine why cold air is continuously entering apartments.
- Provide alternative, energy‑efficient heating solutions that are safe, effective, and affordable for residents.
- Conduct an immediate review of the building’s heating and ventilation systems, including their design, operation, and impact on residents’ energy costs and comfort.
Why This Matters
Every resident has the right to a warm, safe, and energy‑efficient home. The current situation is causing financial strain, discomfort, and unnecessary stress. We are asking Respond Housing to take these concerns seriously and provide a clear plan of action.
By signing below, we show our collective support for this request and ask Respond Housing to respond promptly.
