Heating: The four common mistakes in using the radiator

The most frequent mistakes we make in terms of heating and radiator operation result in us spending more money on energy, summarizes the express.

Poor insulation

Poor home insulation can contribute to the loss of heating that we pay so dearly for, so it is important to seal the doors and windows of our home, as well as to insulate the rooms that we do not heat and use.

At the same time, we can easily strengthen the insulation of our home by closing the curtains and in this way save up to 14% in heating costs.

Incorrect furniture arrangement

We should not place large furniture in front of the radiator, as in this way we trap the heat, reducing the efficiency.

There are no thermostatic valves

The thermostatic valves are placed on each heating body separately, allowing the automatic adjustment of the flow of hot water, depending on the desired temperature of each room separately. In this way, each radiator will be independent and will be automatically isolated as soon as the desired temperature is reached, which can save us large amounts of fuel.

You have not installed a programmable thermostat

A programmable thermostat allows you to pre-set different temperatures for different times of the day, so you’ll be free from the fear of forgetting to turn the heating on when you’re away from home.
