What Temperature Should You Set Your Central Heating to When It’s Cold?

Finding that perfect temperature in your home can be like finding a pot of gold, but once you’ve found it – try to avoid changing it.

Many of us fall for the heating myths that have been around for years, but making our homes warm and comfortable certainly isn’t as difficult now as what it used to be years ago. All of our fandangled gadgets and gizmos can make life simple when the winter chills bite, and understanding how we heat our homes is simpler and more efficient than ever before.

Typically, people have their thermostat set to between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, however an old inefficient boiler could be costing you more than you think as it needs to work overtime to keep your home warm and toasty in comparison to a new A rated energy efficient boiler.

Heating controls come in all shapes, sizes and functionalities which make them perfect for consumers wanting to research what best fits their requirements. Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV’s) are also a must as you can individually control the temperature within each room depending upon their use. Smart TRV’s are increasing in popularity too as they can be integrated with the boiler heating controls and controlled via an app on your phone or tablet – meaning you have full control over which areas of your home you are heating, which can ultimately save you money.
