Heating your home while saving money

How to heat your home while saving money

What if we told you that you can heat your own home while saving money? This is not a joke, but it is what we are going to talk about today in our mini guide. Oriented on smart saving! The summer is now over, and heating your home is certainly a top priority. But how can you heat your home while saving money? We have found and inserted some useful and practical tips to give a twist to your classic vision of home heating. Often too expensive! So, if you are curious to know how you can heat your home by falling within the expenses, and even saving, we can start!

The radiators – how to vent them ?

Not everyone knows that radiators need to be vented. What do we mean by this term? Bleeding radiators means extracting air before winter starts. This advice is not trivial. On the contrary. This is a fundamental element, because it allows to eliminate the air bubbles inside the radiators that would prevent the flow of heat.
How to do this? Through a valve (automatic or manual). The secret is to carry out this manoeuvre very slowly!

Temperature ? Better if constant

Another element that will allow you to save significantly by heating your home, is represented by the constant temperature. In fact, keeping the temperature of your home constant (about 20 degrees) will reduce expenses. At the same time, however, remember that, if we should not stay at home for the whole day, it is advisable to set the heating time slots. In this way you will not feel the thermal shock once you return and, above all, there will be no need to set the heaters to the maximum!

Heating your home while saving money

Thermal insulation of the house

You don’t have to make the common mistake of managing only and exclusively heaters and boilers. The thermal insulation of a house is essential to save on bills!
Did you know that 30% of the domestic heating requirement can be caused by poorly maintained windows and doors? To avoid this problem, we recommend that you check your home. If necessary, start now for a replacement of the windows!

The boiler

Yes, last but not least, let’s find the boiler. For many it is a real nightmare to try to understand how to make the boiler work best at home. But to eliminate this risk, we recommend an annual review. Often many companies include the maintenance of the same in their standard rates. If you have to choose a new model instead, do not fossilize too much on the initial expenditure. It is much cheaper to spend more, but find yourself with lighter bills! Often you run the risk of buying boilers that are too cheap but which will have disproportionate subsequent expenses. So, in this case, the saying “prevention is better than cure” applies!

Final advice

As our blog focuses on the real estate market, we still recommend you to select structures that comply with sustainability. The new homes on the market, are almost always in line with the main green criteria, both to protect the environment but also oriented to energy saving!
