@nytimes@wirecutter recently ran a test to determine if it's better (comfort and money-wise) to keep the AC running.
The result? It's best to keep your AC on, even when you're not home. The ideal temperature setting is in the upper 70s.

It's time for the big thaw in Manhattan with warmer temps. The pressure shifts inside your pipes, taking advantage of weak connections, aging joints, and brittle materials. Proactive maintenance can save $, not to mention sleepless nights.

March is the time to check for water damage in NYC. Flat roofs slow drainage and increase the likelihood of pooling water, leading to leaks. Top Hat Home Services provides preventative, proactive maintenance to avoid costly disasters.
#propertymanager#manhattan
March is one of the most dangerous months for homeowners.
It typically has to do with:
• Roof & drainage
• Plumbing
• Freeze–thaw facade stress
• Exterior water intrusion
Don't let small issues become expensive repairs.
Schedule an inspection.

This winter NYC received DOUBLE the average snowfall. And it's expected to be the snowiest late February, with 3 more snow events before the end of the month. It's wreaking havoc on your brownstone. We help prevent facade emergencies. #propertymanager#manhattan#homemaintenance
Cleaning a faucet aerator seems like a little thing.
But the impact can be huge when it's not done. We're talking low water pressure, a shorter faucet life span, poor water quality. Regular maintenance of the small things can save big $ + headaches.

NYC homeowner snow regulations--If the snow stops between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM: You have 4 hours to clear the sidewalk.

Here's the recommended temperature to keep your thermostat set during Manhattan's winter freeze:
☀️ 68–70° during the day
🌙 65–68° at night
This protects the parts of the home that are the most painful to repair.
