So you keep your flat warm? and your heating costs low!
Bleed radiator
Proper heating starts even before the actual heating season in winter. Because even before the first time you should bleed the radiator well. The reason: A radiator that contains too much air, is not really warm? and is also an energy eater. Either you take the vent yourself or you let the janitor or a craftsman come.
Short butt ventilation
Proper ventilation is the alpha and omega for warm apartments! This means that the window is not tilted all day (and the room cools down with it), but is only briefly opened for venting. It is best to open several windows at the same time to create a draft. In winter, only five minutes are enough to exchange the air in the room.
Lower temperatures at night
If you do not want to have an exorbitant heating bill after the winter, keep in mind that the heater is not running at full power all the time. Who puts the heating at 15 degrees at night, reduces its energy costs by 30 percent. At night, 16 degrees in the bedroom is enough to sleep well. Each degree saves six percent heating energy? and therefore also costs.
Set the thermostat correctly
With thermostatic valves can save a lot of money. Nevertheless, many people do not really know how to operate. They turn the valves on when they are cold and turn them off when they are warm. Is it more energy efficient when you set the desired temperature? the thermostat then ensures that the temperature is not exceeded.
Use timer
It is also useful to have a timer for the heating? For example, if you are not home for days. In this case, the heating must not run at full speed, but only shortly before you come back. In addition, the temperature can be easily controlled by using a timer at night.
Insulate window
Often the apartment does not get really warm because cold air flows through doors and windows. If you want to save energy, you should ensure that small windows are closed with insulating wool. Leaks can be masked with foam sealing tape or rubber seals.
Shutters and curtains close
It is only a small matter, but it also ensures that the apartment does not cool down? and the heating costs do not skyrocket. Close the Scots in the evening! That means shutters, shutters and curtains should be closed well to keep out the cold.
Heat from the inside
And if nothing helps: heat up from the inside! Whether with warming foods and spicy spices or with hot drinks: Make sure you're warm. In addition, in winter thick socks and cuddly pants instead of hot pants and top are on the program. Also in the apartment.
