Energy consumption: what is it?

Energy consumption what is it

When we talk about heating, two factors stand out as the main selection criteria: price and energy consumption. The good compromise comes down to not inflating your energy bill beyond reasonable while you heat your interior, while not ruining yourself in an expensive installation.

There is a very simple correlation between temperature that you keep in your home and the invoice that will be attached to it. In a somewhat empirical way, an additional degree obtained in your home is earned at the cost of a 7% increase in your bill of heater. Once one knows this, it is easy to understand why the fight against energy strainers is a real battle to be waged, also from an ecological point of view.

Today, manufacturers produce systems that adjust to the nearest half of a degree (or even to tenths of a degree), eliminating the need to roughly adjust the valve. Therefore, once informed about the fact that the temperature recommended ideal for your home is 19 ° C, all you have to do is define it on the console using the corresponding commands and you’re done! Each radiator nowadays has a thermostat digital which is clean and which allows an adjustment to the small ones onions !

Note the fact that most people opt for an installation managed by a central thermostat from which the entire system can be controlled. In the event that rooms do not need to be heated, it is simply necessary to close the radiators which will then be taken out of the network, thus the bill will be significantly reduced.

As you can see, nowadays, with the progress of technology, it is quite possible to control your bill of heater, as long as you pay a little attention to the way you heat your home. Insulation of the latter and other factors are essential to take into consideration, but know that, thanks to the ultra-precise thermostats that now exist, you have all the cards in hand so as not to ruin yourself for 1 or 2 more degrees.

[EN VIDÉO] Geothermal energy, a formidable energy revolution
Geothermal energy is one of the oldest tamed by humans and it is also one of the most efficient. It is used on a large scale in Iceland, where most of the electricity consumed comes from its operation. National Geographic Channel tells us about it in the Inventing the Future series, of which here is an excerpt. The next episode airs tonight, Friday, February 19, 2016, at 9:30 p.m.
