1 – Install Programmable Thermostats

Ideally, you should lower the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius at night and bring it up a few degrees during the day. And if this can be done automatically, all the better!

To this end, programmable thermostats are a well known and efficient replacement option for older, less practical thermostats. But, of course, they must be properly programmed! Many among us have these little devices in our residences but prefer to rely on the “maintain temperature” function when, in fact, the technology they employ makes them great allies in our fight against overconsumption.

With a bit of practice, you will quickly learn how to easily program them, especially if you use the same model throughout your house. In this way, you can avoid heating closed unoccupied rooms during the day and preheat them before you arrive home.

2 – Overcome Humidity

Counterintuitively, it is usually too much humidity that chills us to the bone and stirs us to raise the temperature by a few extra degrees Celsius. A dehumidifier and a few simple gestures to avoid adding dampness to the air inside the home remain straightforward solutions. Remember, for example, to activate the range hood when boiling water or switch on the bathroom fan when taking a hot shower.
