5 Ways to Optimize Your Heating Habits from Winter to Spring

As the cold weather makes way for the warmth of spring, it’s tempting to simply switch off the heating system and enjoy the sunshine. However, unpredictable British weather patterns can still make it challenging to create a comfortable home without energy wastage. Winter heating habits can also persist, leading to high energy bills even in the second quarter of the year.

Switching to electric heating can provide better control and energy-saving features, resulting in eco-friendlier and cost-effective living. Here are five ways to optimize your heating habits this spring.

1. Maintain a consistent temperature with adaptive start

A common bad habit is to set the thermostat too high, resulting in stuffy rooms, energy wastage, and high bills. Precision thermostats fitted in electric radiators can help by providing an accurate calculation of heat output in each room. These thermostats maintain a consistent temperature without fluctuations and adjust instantly when heat levels go above or below the specified range, learn about POWERDOWN control.

By programming the heating system to be consistent, homeowners can save on energy bills and avoid the need for extreme heat boosts. Adaptive start measures the time taken for the radiator to reach the desired temperature, pre-heating ahead of schedule to achieve the perfect heating at the exact time needed.

2. Use zoned heating schedules for personalized control

Central heating systems can waste energy by heating the entire house to heat one room. Sunflow electric radiators, which function independently without any pipework or boiler, allow personalized heating schedules and zones for every room in the property. Users can program different schedules and temperatures for each room, such as the living room, bedroom, and bathroom, to avoid heating any rooms unnecessarily.

With the in-built thermostat or smart device app with Bluetooth or WiFi compatibility, setting up personalized schedules and heating zones is convenient and straightforward.

3. Opt for electric heating systems for low maintenance costs

4. Monitor energy consumption with statistics

It’s easy to lose track of energy consumption and end up with high bills. By linking all radiators to a web app, homeowners can view individual statistics and detect excess consumption. With this information, homeowners can take action to reduce their home’s energy usage, resulting in lower bills.

The user-friendly interface simplifies the process of making changes to the heating system, allowing for easy tracking of energy consumption.
