First, keep windows and doors close is not the solution. Fresh air is even necessary. A regulated air exchange not only provides the basic oxygen supply, but also prevents mold growth. Whenever moist, heated air on cold walls, corners or reveals hits stores, this off as condensation.

If the moisture will not evaporate, may emerge and spread potentially harmful mold spores. You can avoid this by regular ventilation: The best way several times a day for several minutes with the windows and doors hold strong draft.

Thus, sufficient fresh air to enter the apartment without the room temperature gets too low. Important: Turn off heater before the air, otherwise the plant works at full speed to the short-term temperature drop in balance.

Inexpensive heating to freeze without

A switch in the central temperature controller tells the heating system when they start and when to continue or pause in the economy mode.

Ideally, thermostatic valves, which depend on the external or internal temperature. They keep the room temperature and activate the heating system only when the temperature drops.


Tips for the heating season
Heat accumulation by curtains or radiator panels avoid
Close shutters at night
Continuous ventilation by tilting the window to avoid
drafty cracks and joints sealed with sealing profiles
Thermal bridges, such as eliminating non-insulated rolling shutters,
Radiator niches insulate later
