Reply to comment by cfk77 in The 3rd party energy provider system is an overcomplicated mess by Waggmans

I live in a very old drafty apartment with big windows and use electric heat.

I'll probably have to eat the $50 cancellation fee. Then watch the price of energy dip in the spring...

Tip: those plastic films you can put over windows truly do help. They’re ugly as heck but they work

Unfortunately I live in a converted school with oversized windows, part of the problem. Nobody wants to do anything in here.

But you are not nobody.
The cost of the plastic film or kit can save on heat if you install yourself.

I am guessing 3 feet wide and 8 feet high, and huge, the the source of heat loss in a big way.

Curtains are also have an insulating effect.

Shades mounted at reachable heights do the same, even at partial coverage.

Is there no ladder in the entire building?

The amount of heat loss merits paying a handy person to install something to reduce your costs.
