Especially in winter, the costs explode through the use of heating, which is essential for the cold days. Even more upsetting that the oil price is at record levels, and thus caused a large hole in your wallet. We show you how you can lower with cheap purchases, and some behavioral changes in your heating costs that are rather effective.

Correct use

Before we need to clarify how the heating system is used most effectively with our technical aids, as this is the best means to help lower the costs if we know how the heat is wasted senselessly.

Room temperature

The human body feels a room temperature of 20 degrees most comfortable. With 18 degrees, the application of the respiratory system is optimal. Of course, it also depends on the clothing, whether 20 degrees is comfortable or too cold, so you should not do without a sweater on in winter. People who live in winter with only a T-shirt in front of the TV and hardly moving is also 24 degrees too cool.

Each set degrees means less on the heating which equates to around five to six percent less heating costs. It is best to heat unused rooms at a lesser degree. During the day, if the house is empty, it is worthwhile to turn down heating in all rooms. Just make sure that it does not cool the rooms. A fully-cooled space requires a lot of heating because you need to heat the cold walls requiring more energy than if you were to run the heater on a smaller scale.

When it pays to put the heater on?

A shutdown of the heater is worthwhile only after a period of absence of two days. During this time you can turn the temperature down either strongly or put on frost protection position (star position), so as you will not freeze the radiator.

In the night

During the night the human body feels more comfortable in a certain temperature which is 18 degrees. All other rooms can easily be lower, so they do not consume unnecessary energy.
