Heating season is upon us, and while some of us enjoy the cozy warmth it brings, many are understandably concerned this year. Due to the fear of high heating costs, some are even hesitant to turn on their radiators. But don’t worry, there are still ways to keep your home warm without putting a strain on your budget. All you need to do is set your electric heater efficiently to save energy.
To adjust the radiator to the optimal value that will keep your home warm without causing your energy bill to explode, you need to consider a few factors:
Insulation: Make sure your home is well insulated. This includes windows, doors and walls. Poor insulation causes heat to escape quickly, resulting in higher energy consumption. Check your insulation and invest in improvements if necessary.
