We are getting ready for our two favourite seasons: autumn and winter. Yet these seasons bring with them things that burden the environment. With these five
heating tips, Sit & Heat makes sure you keep your home warm in a sustainable way, without huge investments. On to the warmest and most sustainable autumn ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set the thermostat one degree lower by default. Go for 19 instead of 20 degrees. Every degree higher causes an increase of 7% in gas consumption. Dress just a little warmer inside. This could save you an extra \u20ac80 a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respond to the future by heating sustainably. Sit & Heat's heat pads enable you to heat your torso in a sustainable manner, as no hot air is lost and your body is heated directly. In addition, clever heating saves you a lot of money. Did you know that these heated cushions can save you 10% in annual energy costs? Moreover, you can choose from many fun colours. Recharging is easy with a power bank and your pillows will last for hours. With our heating pads, you can certainly turn down the thermostat a few degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close all doors in the house and only heat the rooms where you are. This way, you can save around \u20ac240 a year. A door closer (also known as a door spring or door closer) makes the doors close automatically. You can get these door springs from as little as \u20ac5 at the hardware store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the cold seasons, we naturally seek cosiness in abundance. Light the candles more often in your home and use plaids, rugs and cushions for a cosy nest feeling. Besides contributing to a nice atmosphere, it also makes your home cosy and makes you feel nice and warm on the couch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn the thermostat to 15 or 16 degrees about an hour before bedtime. Do this also during the day when you are not at home. A thermostat with programmable control clock can take care of this automatically. You will save as much as 5 to 8% of gas a year by doing this which works out to around \u20ac200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
