Outside temperatures are dropping, leading many families to turn up their heating to stay warm. However, increasing the temperature also means higher energy costs. So, at what temperature can you feel comfortable without breaking the bank? Here is a breakdown of the ideal temperatures for each room.
In general, the ideal temperature for the house is 19 degrees. However, the desired temperature may vary from room to room.
In living spaces such as the living room, kitchen, office, and dining area, you can save on your energy bill by keeping the temperature at 19 degrees, or possibly one degree higher if it is really cold.
For circulation areas like the corridor, entrance hall, and toilet, the temperature does not need to be higher than 17 degrees. A bedroom only needs to be 16 degrees. It is important to note that a bedroom that is too warm can negatively impact sleep quality, so keeping shutters or curtains closed can help retain heat.
Children’s rooms should have a temperature fluctuating between 18 and 20 degrees. Until the age of two, children cannot properly regulate their own body temperature.
In the bathroom, the appropriate temperature is at least 22 degrees when in use. The thermostat can then be set to 17 degrees. Keeping the temperature above 16 degrees helps prevent condensation.
When nobody is at home during the day, the thermostat can be set to 16 degrees for that period. If nobody is present for a longer period of time, the thermostat can even be set to 12 to 14 degrees to save energy.
Remember to adjust the temperature accordingly to ensure comfort and energy efficiency.]
