When should you light your heating so as not to weigh down your budget while enjoying a pleasant interior? Experts agree that there is a specific moment when the gesture becomes really effective.
While some rekindles their boiler from the first fresh evenings, others are waiting for temperatures to fall frankly to activate the thermostat. Know that a median terrain is emerging, supported by scientific data and the experience of specialists in the sector. The challenge is not only to reduce invoices: it is also a question of optimizing daily comfort by taking into account the natural dynamics of temperatures, the orientation of housing and the way in which heat circulates in an interior.
Indeed, the orientation of the accommodation plays a major role here. A house turned south captures more natural light, accumulates more heat and authorizes later ignition at the end of the day. Conversely, a home oriented to the north remains cooler, for lack of direct sunshine, and often requires an artificial contribution earlier in the evening. Experts stress that this difference can represent several degrees of difference in the thermometer, with notable consequences on the annual bill.
The time of day, too, strongly influences the efficiency of heating. The weather readings show that the outdoor air is the coldest in the early morning, just after sunrise, between 6:30 am and 7:30 am. Launching the heating at this precise moment to warm the house before the occupants start their day, without letting the radiators run unnecessarily for hours.
A second niche is strategic: the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the evening, between 5.30 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the sun declines and the walls stop restoring the accumulated heat. In addition, beyond the schedules, the experts indicate that there is also an ideal date to trigger its heating this fall and this date falls at the end of September, when the external temperatures regularly cross the threshold of 15 ° C.
To do this, professionals rather recommend maintaining a constant temperature thanks to a well -adjusted thermostat. The beach deemed optimal is between 18 ° C and 22 ° C, a fork which covers the majority of needs without excess. Connected solutions today facilitate this regulation: programmers, presence sensors and mobile applications allow you to adjust part by room and adapt consumption to the routine of each home.
