How to Save Money on Heating: Tips for This Winter

Adjust the thermostat intelligently

One of the most common mistakes is setting the heating to an excessive temperature. The ideal way to be comfortable without wasting is maintain the home between 19 and 21 degrees during the day, and lower it to about 17 degrees at night. Raising the temperature by just one degree can increase energy consumption by 71%, so setting the thermostat correctly is key.

Insulate your house without renovations

Another fundamental aspect if you're looking for how to save on heating is prevent heat from escaping. Many homes lose a significant amount of heat through drafts, poorly sealed windows, or uninsulated doors.

At Alcampo, you have simple solutions within your reach, such as Door and window weatherstripping, thermal insulation curtains, or adhesive insulation that are easily installed. These small investments have an immediate effect: you'll notice the house stays warmer for longer, even if you turn down the heat.

Take advantage of the natural heat

Even though sunny days are scarce in winter, whenever the sun comes out, make the most of it! Open your curtains or blinds during the midday hours to let in natural light. sun's heat helps raise the temperature for free.

Then, close it up well in the afternoon so that the heat isn't lost. The heavy curtains, available also in the home sections of Alcampo, they act as an extra barrier that helps conserve temperature.

Efficient heating and affordable portable devices

It's not always necessary to heat the entire house. If you spend a lot of time in one room, it can be more efficient to use a Portable heater Instead of turning on the entire central system.

At Alcampo, you'll find a wide range of electric heaters, oil-filled radiators, and ceramic heaters, with low-consumption models ideal for specific rooms. Some even include a thermostat and timer, so you can heat exactly what you need, when you need it.

It seems obvious, but often radiators are blocked by furniture or thick curtains. This prevents heat from circulating well in the room and causes the heating to work harder to reach the desired temperature.

Check the location of your radiators and make sure they are clear. You can also place reflective panels behind them (available at hardware stores or the home section of Alcampo), which return heat to the room instead of losing it through the wall.

Rugs and textiles: more important than you think
