Cum faci economie iarna? Majoritatea oamenilor interpretează greșit cifrele de pe termostatul de pe calorifer • Newsweek România

As temperatures drop in autumn, many misunderstand the thermostat settings on their radiators. Higher numbers do not increase heating speed but indicate specific temperature ranges. For instance, setting the thermostat to three typically achieves around 20 degrees Celsius. Each additional setting raises the temperature by three to four degrees. The sun symbol indicates a base setting of about 20 degrees, while the snowflake symbol protects against freezing, maintaining around six degrees. Many homes still use outdated thermostats, which can be inefficient. Upgrading to modern thermostats can save heating costs significantly. Proper preparation of the heating system for winter is also essential, including bleeding radiators and ensuring even heating throughout the home.
