Radiator thermostats
It may sound almost too good to be true, but according to the Swedish Energy Agency, you can save up to 30 % by having functioning radiator thermostats.
For example, if you have a room with solar radiation, a room with a wood-burning stove or a bedroom where you want it to be cool, it is particularly important to have thermostats that work so that you don't burn for the crows!
How do you know that the thermostats are working properly?
- A simple check you can do to see if the thermostats are working is to turn them. If it is slow to turn them, they are usually ok.
- Another way is to take reference measurements to see that the thermostats are closing properly. The easiest way to do this is with a digital temperature gauge.
- If the thermostat does not switch itself off, the radiator valve itself may also be stuck. Then you usually need to replace them too.
