If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

      Just going to throw out that electric heaters are the most expensive/least efficient way to heat electrically.

      If you’re in the US, you can get a partial credit for improving windows, doors, and insulation (always the best first step).

      You or your landlord can also get up to a $3000 credit toward a central heat pump system, which gives 3-4x the delivered heat for a given amount of electricity.

        Heat pumps are also electric. The term that you guys want is “electric resistance heaters”.
