Understanding Your Room’s Heating System
Your room comes with a water central heating system that automatically controls the temperature. Here’s what you need to know:
How Your Radiator Works 🔥
- Don’t panic if your radiator feels cold when it’s freezing outside!
- This is actually normal – your radiator has a smart thermostat that turns off when your room reaches the right temperature
- Fun fact: It’s totally normal for your radiator to feel warm at the top and cooler at the bottom – this means it’s working properly!
Room temperature
🌡️ Setting the Perfect Temperature
- You can adjust your room temperature using the radiator valve
- The ideal room temperature is 20-21°C (comfy and cozy!)
- Pro tip: Try 19°C for better sleep
- Money-saving hack: Lowering temperature by just 1°C saves 5-7% on energy bills!
⚠️ Important Things to Remember
- Keep curtains and furniture away from your radiator’s thermostat
- Blocking the thermostat confuses it and can make your room too cold or too hot
- Overheating wastes energy and could lead to higher rent costs
Extra heaters
❌ Absolutely No Extra Heaters
- Extra heaters are not allowed
- They mess up the heating system (your radiator will actually turn off when you use them!)
