As the heating season approaches, concerns about soaring energy bills may lead some to hesitate when it comes to turning on the radiators. However, there are effective ways to keep your home warm without breaking the bank. Properly adjusting your electric heating system can contribute to energy savings.
Understanding the symbols on your radiator’s thermostat knob is crucial. These symbols indicate various heat levels, and choosing the right setting is key to optimizing energy consumption. The thermostat valve, once installed, can be turned to select the desired comfort temperature.
Here’s a breakdown of the temperature levels represented by the numbered programs:
- 0 or “Snowflake” symbol: This setting doesn’t completely turn off the heating but maintains a temperature around 7°C. Useful when you’re away for a few days in cold weather to prevent freezing pipes.
- Level 1: Suitable for spaces like laundry rooms or staircases, heating up to 13°C.
- Level 2: Reaches around 16°C, recommended for sleeping areas.
- Level 3: Achieves a temperature of up to 20°C, optimal for most rooms in the house.
- Level 4: Heats the air to 22-24°C, suitable for warming the bathroom.
- Level 5: Reaches up to 28°C, making the room too warm; often not a practical setting.
- “Sun” icon: Ideal for larger rooms, maintaining a comfortable temperature around 19-20°C.
- “Moon” symbol (Night mode): Sets the temperature to around 16-17°C during sleep hours.
