During the winter, whether you are a tenant or a homeowner, bills are surprisingly and sometimes dizzying. And yes, it's cold, and the radiators are running full time. And if you enjoy living in a comfortable, well-heated home, paying the exorbitant bills that go with it is another story. But, did you know that there are ways to reduce your bill without your comfort suffering? Here are some keys to achieving this.

Optimize the insulation of your house or apartment

Successful insulation saves huge savings on your electricity bill. Indeed, hollow walls cause a significant loss of energy. The insulation must therefore take into account hollow walls that cause an energy loss of about 15%. For this, it is possible to make use of mineral wool which is a material widely used for insulation. In addition to being ecological, it is a material that allows you to obtain an optimal result both in terms of the quality of the insulation and in terms of the heating of your home.

Maintain and optimize your heating

If you expect a good performance of the heating system of your apartment or house, you need to take great care of it. Indeed, dusting the heating allows a better performance and reduces energy consumption. Poor maintenance of a boiler in a house can, for example, generate an additional 10% energy consumption. As winter approaches, what could be better than checking a few small points in your system:

Properly position the heating: To benefit from the heat diffused by the radiator and other heat sources, release anything that could block the normal diffusion of heat.
Set the heating to a good temperature: Oscillate the temperature inside your house or apartment between 19 and 20°C.
Schedule the heating : If you're away during the day, program your system to turn on a little before you get home.
Close air intakes: To avoid energy loss, always keep doors and shutters closed to concentrate heat in the room you are in.

Finally, you can also equip your radiator with a heat diffuser so that the thermal energy released is diffused throughout the room and not concentrated in only one part.

Condominium heating

A new regulation now requires the installation of devices to individualize the costs of collective heating in condominiums. Thanks to this measure, each dwelling will be able to know its right amount of heat.
These provisions are mandatory in all condominiums unless technically the facilities are not feasible or if the costs of the work are too excessive.

En cas de besoin, vous pouvez toujours faire intervenir un électricité sur Paris 4 éme pour controler votre installlation électrique.
