What to Check
- Check the manufacturer's manual and the management office's guidance for your boiler type, fuel, ventilation outlet, hot-water/heating modes, and how to use the away (outing) mode.
- For a gas smell, suspected carbon monoxide, an alarm going off, or fire/explosion risk, immediately ventilate, shut off the valve, and contact 119 or your gas supplier first.
- For electric blankets, heaters, and power strips, check the risk of overheating and fire.
- Heating bills vary depending on the building structure, district heating versus individual heating, the metering method, and usage.
What K Must Not Answer
- "There's a gas smell — is it okay?"
- "Can I repair the boiler myself?"
- "How much will the heating bill be?"
