Although the Mediterranean sun will continue to greet us from the moment we wake up every morning, temperatures will be dropping as winter approaches. A change in season shouldn’t keep us from enjoying a life by the beach. The key is in making our new apartment a haven of comfort.
You go through the effort of digging out your winter clothes from the external storage room, and you may even make a few purchases for some new winter garments. Why not go a bit further and make your new home as warm and cosy as you like?
4 tips to getting just the right temperature in your new home
1. ENSURE A STABLE OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE IN YOUR HOME
An important step to achieve this is to ensure that the temperature remains constant and does not exceed 22ºC as this is the ideal energy-efficient level. Putting up the heating by just 1ºC could see your energy bills increase by 7%.
2. GIVE YOUR HOME A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Experts also recommend to open all the windows, which is also shown to help you breathe better. The trick is keeping them open just long enough to ventilate the rooms and maintain insulation inside. Ten minutes should suffice to bring some welcomed fresh air into your home.
3. AVOID DRAFTS FROM DOORS AND WINDOWS
Examine the state of your windows to detect drafts of cold air. If you can maintain the insulation, you will stay warm without turning the heating up, thereby saving you money. Use Under Door Draft Stoppers to stop currents of air coming in and altering our ideal room temperature.
4. CHECK YOUR BOILER
Lastly, check the state of your boiler to ensure it’s working correctly and optimally. Prevention is the first step to avoid breakdowns and making your home nice and cosy while consuming less energy.
