Smart thermostats: You can invest in remote-controlled systems that automatically adjust the temperature based on your schedule.
Zoned heating: For larger homes, it’s worth considering installing a zoned heating system that allows for individual settings in different parts of the building.
FAQ:
1. Why should my bedroom be cooler?
A lower bedroom temperature promotes healthy sleep and improves air quality.
2. Does turning off the heat at night save energy?
Not always. Too much of a temperature drop can cause the system to use more energy in the morning to heat your home to the appropriate level.
3. What should you do if one of your radiators is cold?
You probably need to bleed the radiators or check the valves. You should also make sure that the system is working properly.
4. Should all rooms be the same temperature?
NO. Adjust the temperature to the room’s function: the kitchen, for example, can stay cooler thanks to the heat generated during cooking.
5. Does underfloor heating require different settings?
Yes, underfloor heating works best at lower temperatures, e.g., 25-28°C, providing even heat.
