Here are some tips on how to influence the temperature of your home yourself.
The thermostats of the radiators take care of the appropriate temperature of your apartment. The heat recommendation in the apartments is generally +20-21 ° C.
We recommend that you get a thermometer if you want to monitor the temperature of your apartment. Measure the temperature in the middle of the room, over a meter high from the floor.
Please note that the radiator warms, even though it may not feel hot in the hand. The temperature of the apartment is also leveled by a delay after changes in the outdoor temperature.
Please check these and your radiators will work properly:
- Check that your radiator thermostat has been turned to the largest number. If you want cooler, turn the thermostat smaller.
- Make sure you do not place curtains or furniture in front of the thermostat. The obstacles will interfere with the thermostat and cause it to misinterpret the room temperature.
- Keep your radiator and its background clean.
Also remember:
- Ventilate in winter through the window only urgently, and not at all in good frost.
- Take care of the supply and exhaust air valves. Under no circumstances, do not support air valves, as the ventilation of the entire house will be disturbed.
Did you know: good dreams at 19 degrees
Motiva's studies, most people are satisfied when the temperature of the dwelling living areas is just above 21 ° C. This is also considered an energy -efficient temperature.
However, you sleep better in the bedroom if it is about 19-20 ° C.
In a too warm apartment, the indoor air is drier and it feels awkward.
What if your home is cold?
However, if the temperature of your home is permanently below the heat recommendation (+20-21 ° C), please let us know it with a bug report .
