My $.02. If this is a steam system, and perhaps even if hot water, check your system out, makes sure it is working well, the radiators are sized correctly and balanced, and the rooms largely heat up and cool down together. Set reasonable, and not stingy temps. If there are any rooms in the rental that tend to run particularly cold after you have done all of the above (extensions, etc.), install baseboard electric in that room that the tenant controls on the tenant’s electrical bill. Whatever increment more you pay on your heat is worth it for the savings in capital expenditures.
