Room Heating
- An electric heater (1500W) uses 4.5kWh of electricity during a period of 3hrs or 135Kwh per month.
- Insulate the ceiling.
- Keep doors to unheated rooms closed. Draughts through doors and windows can increase room-heating cost by as much as 15%
- Use lower wattage heaters. Our cold season seldom warrants elaborate heating systems. Ensure that the heater has a thermostat.
- Curtains also help to retain heat in a room
- Always make sure that the aluminium part at the back of your heater is clean and shining because it helps to emit heat into the room. Once it has turned black, you can coat it with foil paper so that your room remains warm.
