Many of us would not even be able to flood in the stove today. Radiators mean comfort, peace and clean heat, but also energy costs. But how to save and still not freeze? It is possible, we just have to follow some rules.
“Put it on five, I’m cold,” we can hear in some families where they prefer heat over financial savings. Sometimes it is not possible, but where it is a bit possible, we should think more economically. Even heating does not have to cost us a legendary fortune when we behave reasonably.
TOPTE by room
It is unnecessary to heat most of the rooms to the highest temperature that radiators can handle. For example, experts recommend a temperature of about twenty degrees for living rooms, but two degrees less for the bedroom. The same is true in the kitchen, where we usually move and release further heat during cooking. So how to set the radiator head to make us just “just”, but we didn’t only earn a heating?
It’s all just physics
Let us first realize how the environment manages temperature. We find that, like the current radiator temperature, the heat supply is also uniform. Therefore, it will be much better to fix the thermo -head of approximately the third of the mostly five possibilities of heating intensity. It should be enough to maintain 20 ° C in the room without turning the boiler on and turning it off again. This also costs unnecessary energy and thus our money.
Do not turn off the heating completely
If you happen to be one of those people who believe they save when they turn off the heating completely before going to work, then rather re -evaluate your view. This is a really big mistake that costs you a lot of money.
As mentioned, the uniformity of heating is important. So who will let the apartment greatly cool during the day, may be saved by a few crowns during that time, but in its subsequent re -heating to the desired pleasant temperature will spend much more. We could compare it to the slimming yo-yo effect. In fact, a major restriction leads to problems.
Ventilation is the key to success
However, no rule of correct heating will be valid if we are poorly ventilated, or inappropriately deploy furniture in the room. Today, perhaps everyone knows that a heavy curtain to the ground that overlaps the radiator will not do good service. But it is also with cabinets and chests of drawers that we place too close to the heating. Even long -term laundry drying on the radiator will not lead to its effective use.
Finally, it is also necessary to mention ventilation. Open the window seemingly is no science, but can you ventilate correctly? What does this mean? Fast and fully. The best method is to open the windows at the same time for five to ten minutes. Fresh air will flood the whole apartment in a moment, as well as quickly after closing the windows, it warms up to a pleasant temperature without much energy loss. Try it and wonder how much you will save.
