I know we're in the midst of a record cold snap, but my house is currently sitting at 55 degrees and our heating system can't get it any warmer. Trying to figure out if I have any leverage with the developer I bought from here since the heating system they installed can't keep the place warm (new construction). We have a warranty but it just expired a couple weeks ago, but still trying that angle.
Neighbors had a third party company come in and look at the system since they're having the same issue and the third party literally said the system isn't fit to handle Nebraska winters.
Any advice or recommendations for how to navigate this lovely problem?
Edit for info - It's a "ductless split unit", no furnace or anything.
Second edit - Luckily they seem to be taking action. They sent out emergency repair techs and free space heaters for the time being (to everyone on the block!). The repair techs kinda shrugged and said this what happens when you use split ducts in Nebraska.
On February 13, on Ibragimov Boulevard in Ufa, at about 11:00, a 41-year-old Toyota Hilux driver, having lost control of an SUV, knocked down a 63-year-old man who was standing at a public transport stop. As a result of the incident, the victim was taken to hospital.

UPDATE: Just talked to the Methodist Hotline and found out it is now a one week turnaround to get test results...
Just want to provide my firsthand experience of COVID-19 testing here so people are aware. Im concerned that the stats they are reporting are VERY unreliable.
I initially called in to find out about testing on Wednesday of last week after being abroad and was told I didn’t qualify and to monitor my symptoms (shortness of breath, sore throat, chest tightness, headache, chills but no fever or cough). I called back on Friday afternoon and had to push to get tested. I was able to get in for a test mid-day Saturday. I still have not heard back....
I am concerned that people are putting so much faith in the numbers and that we are waiting for another case of confirmed community spread to take further protective measures when the stats we are basing these decisions on are limited by very few tests, results are trailing multiple days behind, and we are not even targeting testing for community spread (a big reason I was able to get a test was because my exposure abroad put me in a moderate risk category).
Please pay attention to the warnings coming from Italy and don’t take unnecessary trips out. I know everyone is saying this but prevention now will allow us to get through it faster and will save lives.
Prayers for health, God Bless🙏
Last week, it seemed to be all fun and memes regarding the coronavirus. It was all "over there" and seemingly low-impact in our daily lives. I enjoyed the memes as much as anyone, believe me.
This week things have changed for me. Things have gotten more serious.
And so I do not feel that it is appropriate for PostOmaha to publish a list of badass events to go to for the weekend, at a time when we should all be taking the maximum precaution to protect ourselves and our communities by isolating ourselves from large groups and gatherings.
We simply SHOULD NOT be getting together with a large group of people, particularly if it includes non-essential activity (such as day-drinking cocktails in Old Market on a Sunday afternoon). The sooner we can stop the spread, the sooner we can return to normal.
Understand, I just worked in the service industry. I have worked as a server or hospitality-type job for many years of my life, and this level of precaution will affect them most of all. And I feel for these hard working men and women who will bear the brunt of this massive change.
But we must stop this in its tracks. We must. At the current rate of infection, just a few weeks from now we could be at catastrophic levels of impact. The time to act is now.
I have no doubt that many will feel this is an overreaction and all fear-mongering. But hear me out...
My concern comes from two primary sources: medical professionals, and math. The WHO and leading pandemic experts all see this as being an extremely serious matter, and that so far the USA has failed to appropriately prepare for an unprecedented event such as this. We are underestimating the virus' potential and things will get worse.
Second is the math, look at the rate of growth of infections - 120 last week, and 1,200 this week. Do the math, where are we 3-4 weeks from now? 100,000 infected? 1 million? There was a report in NYC that one person in a single office space may have infected 58 of his fellow coworkers by himself. Suddenly it becomes more serious, things start to add up.
I believe that if it feels "too-early", then THAT is the precise time to put up our best defense. Not when it is at our doorstep. But it is just about at our doorstep.
If we take these preventative measures, and make these massive sacrifices in our daily lives, some more than others, then we can get out ahead of this thing and overcome it together.
I love you, Omaha. Let's be smart, let's be vigilant, and let's lay low

I like to buy local as much as possible. What brands or products should I look out for while I do my weekly grocery shopping?
