With the arrival of cold weather, it is important to ensure maximum heating efficiency, even if the system is already operating at full capacity.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Aktualno.
Here are several proven ways to make your home warmer.
1. Clear radiators of obstructions
- Remove furniture and curtains: They should not block the flow of hot air. Free access to radiators improves circulation and promotes uniform heating of the room.
- Do not cover radiators: Decorative panels and covers trap heat, reducing heating efficiency.
2. Regularly clean radiators from dust
- Cleanliness is the key to warmth: Dust on the surface and inside of radiators reduces their heat output.
- How to clean: Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle or special brushes for hard-to-reach places.
3. Check the radiator valves
- Uniform heating: If individual sections of the radiator remain cold, there may be air in the system.
- Bleed the air: Using a special key, unscrew the valve until a thin stream of water appears. This will improve heat circulation.
4. Install radiator fans
- Speed up heating: Fans placed near radiators help distribute heat faster.
- A budget option: Even an ordinary floor fan directed at the radiator will increase the circulation of warm air in the room.
Simple actions will create a cozy atmosphere in your home without additional costs. By following these recommendations, you will make your home warmer and more comfortable during the cold season.
