Resident's Guide

Heating

All properties have central heating using water pipes. The thermostat-guided radiator valves have been adjusted (as a result of basic adjustment) to a specific position so that the thermostat will maintain a level temperature in the apartment. The surface temperature of the radiators will vary from cold to warm depending on the thermostat control.

Room temperature can be changed by adjusting the radiator valve. If the temperature drops below +19°C or rises above +23°C and the situation cannot be remedied using the room-specific control, report the issue to property management. The tenant may not change the default values of the radiator valves or disconnect the radiator thermostats.

According to studies, the most suitable apartment temperature is +20-21°C. You sleep best in a bit cooler temperature, at approximately +19°C. Lowering the temperature by one degree will save 5-7% in heating energy. The thermostat valve may not be covered by curtains or large pieces of furniture, as the thermostat will stop heating the room and the room will grow colder. An opposite situation is caused by the thermostat cooling off, at which point in time the radiator overheats, causing energy to be wasted. This will increase living expenses and will eventually show up as an increase in your rent.
