As autumn arrives, your home’s temperature may occasionally feel cool.
This is because the sun heats rooms during the day but not at night. Air humidity is also higher in autumn than in summer. When the heating season begins, it takes some time for the building structures to warm up and for the relative humidity to decrease.
Your living comfort is important to us. Here are some tips on how you can personally influence your home’s temperature.
Tips for a warm home
Radiator thermostats ensure the appropriate temperature in your apartment. The recommended temperature in apartments is generally +20—21 °C.
We recommend that you acquire a thermometer if you wish to monitor your apartment’s temperature. Measure the temperature in the middle of the room, approximately one meter from the floor.
Please note that a radiator heats even if it doesn’t necessarily feel hot to the touch. The apartment’s temperature also stabilizes with a 1–2 day delay after changes in the outdoor temperature.
Please check these points to ensure your radiators are functioning correctly:
- Check that your radiator’s thermostat is fully open, turned to the highest number. If you desire a cooler temperature, turn the thermostat to a lower setting.
- Ensure that you do not place curtains or furniture in front of the thermostat. Obstacles can cause the thermostat to misinterpret the room temperature and may prevent warm air from spreading evenly throughout the apartment.
- Keep your radiator’s surface and back clean.
Please also ensure the cleaning of supply and exhaust air vents. Do not block air vents under any circumstances, as this will disrupt the entire building’s ventilation.
If, however, your home’s temperature is consistently below the recommended temperature (+20—21 °C), please notify us by submitting a maintenance request.
