Critical Commentary

The chart reflects answers to Question #15b from the Spring 2020 survey, which asked: “What might you do if you did lose heat?” Fifty-four (54) respondents answered this question and the following was collected:

 

  • 15 respondents would call their landlords if they lost heat; 

  • 10 respondents would wear layers; 

  • 6 respondents would call their utility company; 

  • 10 respondents would call their HVAC company; 

  • 6 respondents would ask someone they know who works with heaters to help them; 

  • 5 respondents would see if they could figure it out themselves; 

  • 3 respondents would use space heaters; 

  • 1 respondents would use a fireplace; 

  • 3 respondents said they didn’t know; 

 

The data here adds up to more than 54 because a couple of answers could be categorized in multiple options. 

 

The data was produced by the Shifting Energy Demands in COVID-19 Survey - Overview, which was administered to 86 people over a six week period in May-June 2020.
