Turn it down

23 October 2007

Current regulations recommend a temperature of 19 degrees for a house or flat. This is fine for living areas but way too hot for a bedroom where 15 degrees is sufficient and, in fact, will probably help you get a better sleep. Adjust the radiators in different rooms of your home to ensure a comfortable temperature. In rooms that you don't spend a lot of time in, turn the radiators down or off to reduce your energy consumption. And don't forget, when you go away on holiday, turn the thermostat down.
