Thermostat is all the way up but apartment is still freezing. Help?

It's all fixed now thank you everyone! The temperatures for the next week are a lot higher thankfully so we'll be a lot warmer!

It feels like 7 degrees here and the past few days it's gone down to feeling like -16. I've had the thermostat as high as it'll go but it's freezing in here. The night it was -16 we were all warmer than we are now and it's 23 degrees warmer than it was. I can't do anything to the insulation but could something be wrong with the heaters?

Are you renting or owning? If renting make calls to the land lord every hour, until they get it fixed.

Don't call an emergency number, but if it's life threatening cold, you can probably contact the local first responders to see if they can do anything, at minimum, hopefully they can check it out and give you their recommendation. Again, not an emergency number.

Based on what you have said, something is clearly wrong, but we don't have enough details to guess what the issue is.

It could be signal isn't working... (check the thermostats batteries), could be that the whatever is not getting signal.

Could be that the heater is broke, or the heats to get the heat from one place to somewhere else are broke and if that's the case, it could be over heating in the local area and freezing elsewhere.

@Viper we rent but I was told that maybe the heater is trying too hard to push air out since it's up so high so I tried turning it down and it's working better now. Luckily today it's in the 40s

@SlytherinFreak still that needs to be looked at, can't have people getting too cold
