How to set your heating control

Taking refuge in the warmth of your home after a long day’s work is one of the best feelings in life. And in winter, even more so. That is why we need to know how to programme the heating in our home. This way we can adjust it, so that our home stays at a good temperature throughout the winter and welcomes us with warmth every time we get there.

That is why, in today’s post we encourage you to learn how to programme your heating. This will improve its efficiency, reduce your energy consumption and make your life more comfortable.

Programming the heating system in the right way

Nowadays, heating systems have modern devices that allow you to measure the temperature in your home and programme the heating to save energy, whenever you want. Some even allow you to program it remotely, as is the case with Ecoforest heating systems.

To ensure that programming your heating system does not lead to excessive energy consumption, you need to take into account the best temperature for your home, depending on each case. On the one hand, there is the ideal temperature for when you are at home, which ranges between 19 °C and 21 °C. At these temperatures, you should be comfortable at home, without the need for higher temperatures. If you feel colder, it is advisable to wrap up warmer in order to save energy.

The temperature of the heating should be lowered while you sleep, as bedding and winter pyjamas already provide enough warmth. Therefore, at night, having it at 15 °C or 17 °C would be more than enough. In addition, we recommend that you set it for an hour before going to bed, to ensure that it reaches the correct temperature when it is time to go to bed.

If there are babies or very young children in your home, you can raise the temperature to 22°C, but it is recommended that you do not raise it any higher as this will waste energy. It is better to leave it at the recommended temperature and keep warm and keep them warmer.

And finally, there is the recommended temperature when you are away from home. In this case, it is recommended that you set the temperature to between 15°C – 17°C, as well as at night. If you are going to work or other activities that require the same hours one day, it would be sufficient to set your heating one or two hours before you return home, to ensure that you are greeted with the ideal temperature.

If you are going away from home for a few days, for a holiday or a holiday, it is best to turn your heating off completely. This way you will not misuse it, you will save on energy consumption, you will avoid the risk of damaging any furniture or products you have at home and it will be more economical. And when you are going to return from your trip, we recommend that you set the heating to start heating your home eight hours before your arrival. That way it will be warmed up before you arrive.

With a smart thermostat that allows you to program it from anywhere in the world, you can keep your home at the ideal temperature at all times. This device will allow you to lower or raise the temperature when you need it and, in addition, it has an on/off option. Now that you know how to program your heating system in the right way to save energy, perhaps you are considering changing your heating system for an economical one that makes efficient use of energy and allows you to program it at any time.
