COPA Shares Heat Savings Recommendations

COPA Shares Heat Saving Recommendations COPA, a leading brand in the air conditioning sector, continues to offer suggestions on how you can save energy while heating your homes. Emphasizing that heat loss in radiators must be prevented, COPA has shared tips on how to pay lower bills while staying warm during winter months. As we reach the middle of winter and temperatures drop further, energy conservation becomes increasingly important both for protecting budgets and for taking care of our planet as we face the reality of global warming. Standing out with environmentally conscious, highly efficient and innovative product groups, COPA draws attention to how energy can be used most efficiently at low volumes through small applicable changes. COPA underscores that preventing heat loss is one of the most important factors in more efficient heating. According to COPA's energy-saving tips, good levels of thermal insulation in living areas significantly reduce energy costs.

Insulation

Having proper insulation in your home in accordance with standards will be your greatest help in fuel savings. If you live in an apartment on the top floor, good insulation in the roof in addition to insulation will provide significant fuel savings.

Room thermostat

When a room thermostat is positioned in a location where it can accurately measure temperature, such as an interior wall, it can provide fuel savings of up to 10%. According to world standards, the ideal temperature during winter months is 22°C. By setting your room thermostat to 22°C, you can prevent excessive fuel consumption.

You can control room temperatures separately

Thermostatic valves mounted on radiators with temperature adjustment settings allow you to control the temperature of each room separately. This way, while heating the kitchen, which you use less, at a lower temperature, you can heat areas such as children's rooms at higher temperatures. Thermostatic valves can also close themselves by taking into account the effect of sun temperature on the room. With this method preventing overheating of the room, you can achieve additional savings.

Keep the area above your radiators clear

The main method for warming a room is the hot air rising from above the fins. Placing pots or decorative objects on top of the fins is also an incorrect choice. When you cover the fins this way, you trap a large portion of the hot air that should heat the room in the fins. This situation prevents you from getting adequate heating in proportion to the energy you burn.

Block cold air entry

Cold air leaking from under windows and doors will cause the areas you have heated to cool down again. To avoid heat loss, blocking cold air entry from under doors and around window edges will help you save energy.

Use a reflector

Another way to prevent heat loss in radiators is to place a reflector behind them that will reflect heat into the room. One of the main causes of heat loss in radiators is the wall behind them. The wall, which has lower temperature than the room, draws the hot air from the radiator. By installing a reflector, you can heat more with less energy.
