Cold days
On cold days, you may need extra warmth. Here are some tips for effective and sustainable use of heating:
- Keep windows and doors closed as much as possible: This helps to retain warmth inside the home. If you need to open windows, do so during a relatively warm part of the day and keep it brief.
- Apply minimal night lowering: Allowing your home to cool down significantly can lead to high energy consumption and longer time to reach the desired temperature again.
- Maintain temperature when away for short periods: If you’re away for a short time, it’s not necessary to let your home cool down. If you’re away for a night or several nights, it may be more energy-efficient to keep your home at a stable temperature rather than allowing it to cool completely.
