Heating correctly: How to heat efficiently and save energy Heating is an important factor for comfort and well-being at home. However, it can also result in significant energy consumption and consequently high costs. Therefore it is important to make heating efficient and energy-saving. Here are some tips: 1. Set room temperature correctly Room temperature should not be set too high. Reducing the temperature by one degree already saves about 6% of heating costs. A room temperature of 20°C to 22°C is ideal for the living room and kitchen. In the bedroom the temperature can be somewhat lower, around 18°C to 20°C. 2. Do not cover radiators It is important not to cover radiators, otherwise heat becomes trapped and is not distributed in the room. Curtains or furniture should be at least half a meter away from the radiator. 3. Keep windows and doors closed Keep windows and doors closed to avoid heat loss. There should be no drafts or leaks where cold air can enter. 4. Ventilate correctly Regular ventilation is important for a good indoor climate. Short, intensive airing is the most effective method. Open all windows wide for about 5 to 10 minutes to allow rapid air exchange. Afterwards, close the windows again. 5. Set the thermostatic valve correctly The thermostatic valve controls the room temperature. It should always be freely accessible and not blocked by furniture or curtains. A lower setting on the valve saves energy and costs. 6. Use room dividers If you have large rooms, you can use room dividers to make better use of the space and thereby make heating more efficient. Room dividers allow individual areas to be heated more precisely. By following these tips, you can heat efficiently, save energy and reduce costs.
