How to improve the efficiency of a poorly insulated home with electric heating?
Do you live in a poorly insulated home and use an electric heating system? It is possible to improve your home’s energy efficiency while reducing your electricity bills. Here are some tips for optimizing electric heating in a poorly insulated home:
Check your home’s insulation
The first step in improving the efficiency of a poorly insulated home is to check the condition of the insulation. Make sure the walls, roof, and windows are well insulated to limit heat loss. If your insulation is poor, consider making improvements to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Install a programmable thermostat
A programmable thermostat allows you to regulate the temperature in your home according to your needs. Program it to lower the temperature at night or when you’re away, saving energy while maintaining the thermal comfort of your home.
Use thermal curtains
Thermal curtains provide an additional barrier against heat loss through windows. By closing them at night, you can keep the heat inside your home and reduce your electricity consumption for heating.
Consider installing a dual-flow CMV
A dual-flow CMV (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation) system allows for fresh air to be renewed while recovering heat from the exhaust air to preheat the incoming fresh air. This helps improve your home’s energy efficiency by limiting heat loss.
Maintain your heating system regularly
To ensure your electric heating is working properly, consider regular maintenance. Hiring a professional to check and clean your heating system will optimize its efficiency and extend its lifespan.
By following these tips, you can improve the energy efficiency of your poorly insulated home and reduce your electricity consumption. Feel free to explore the different options available to optimize your heating system and make informed decisions to contribute to the ecological transition.
