Create a cosy, comfortable atmosphere and reduce the impact of energy consumption on your power bills.
Select the right heater for your space
Select the appropriate heater for each room by matching the appliance’s wattage output to the size of the room. The room’s design must also be considered as high ceilings, floor and window coverings, together with the size and position of the windows will have an effect on both heating results and energy consumption.
Use the thermostat
By doing so, the comfort setting is monitored and maintained at the ideal temperature.
Always use the 24-hour timer
This will allow you to program your heater’s daily operational times in 15 minute increments, ensuring that the heater is never accidentally left on whilst you are out or asleep.
Set the correct temperature
Do not overheat the room. Each degree of heat not only increases energy consumption but can also create an uncomfortable environment. Most people find the ideal winter temperature is 16 – 22°c.
Switching off
Switch off your appliance at the power point when heating is not required.
Assist the circulation of heat
If possible, use a slow-moving ceiling fan in conjunction with your heater. Hot air rises, so a ceiling fan is an ideal way to circulate air throughout the room.
Keep the heat in
Only heat the rooms that you are using. Close doors and windows to stop cold draughts.
Insulation
if possible, upgrade insulation in your home, particularly in the ceiling where a substantial percentage of heat can escape.
