If you need to boil water on the stove but you want to minimize heating the house/apartment, boil it in the kettle or microwave first then transfer to stove (slrpnk.net)

Some food preparation can’t be done fully in the microwave, this has helped me minimize radiating heat into the apartment during hot days lately.

It is an adjustment on cooking and relearning what setting to set for how you want your food, but near instant boil is nice. Yeah that is a big problem with renting, landlords have no incentive to pay a bit more for efficient appliances since they don't pay the electrical costs.
