The right way to heat!

Heating properly and saving energy

Heating correctly not only provides a comfortable room environment, but also energy efficiency. This protects the environment, your personal budget and helps you save a lot of energy. We have collected some energy-saving tips for you for healthy and efficient heating. You can easily implement the heating tips and save money!

Saving energy when heating, healthy heating tips

THE RIGHT ROOM TEMPERATURES

Did you know that every extra degree of room temperature requires 6% more energy? Each room should only be heated to the extent that it is used. Living areas are normally kept at about 21 °C, whereas kitchens and bedrooms are a little cooler, approx. 18 °C.

PROPER VENTILATION

Proper ventilation, especially in winter, is essential for a healthy indoor climate and is an important energy-saving tip! Incorrect ventilation can result in a great deal of heat loss. That means you should ventilate several times briefly and intensively by opening the windows wide for about five minutes. Continuous ventilation, for example by tilting the windows, does not provide the necessary exchange of air and wastes energy.

LOWERING THE HEATING AT NIGHT

Depending on the level of insulation in the house, the room temperature should be lowered by two to five degrees during the night. Switching off the heating is counter-productive, because reheating cooled rooms takes much more energy than is required for continuous heating at a low level.

UNOBSTRUCTED RADIATORS

Radiators should be unobstructed to allow the heat to spread around the room quickly. Protruding furniture, built-in radiators or long and heavy curtains in front of the radiators are unwise as they absorb heat.

BLEED THE RADIATORS

Air that enters radiators prevents water circulating and reduces the heating output. The familiar glug-glug noise in the radiator is a certain sign that there is air in the heating circuit. Another warning signal is if the radiator is not heating up properly. In most cases, it is very simple to bleed the radiators yourself. That’s how easily you can save energy again!

CHECK THE THERMOSTATIC VALVES

Are your radiators not getting properly warm even after venting? This may be due to the thermostatic valves. You can check this by turning the valve all the way closed - the radiator should then remain cold. When the valve is turned up, the radiator should warm up evenly.

HAVE YOUR HEATING SERVICED

Another important energy-saving tip: Remember to have your heating system serviced regularly! Professional removal of soot and dirt saves up to ten per cent on energy and you will need less fuel. In addition, you will also significantly extend the service life of your boiler. Make an appointment here.
