Home heating and thermostat efficiency issues

Overview

Issues with home heating efficiency have been linked to thermostat inaccuracies and radiator malfunctions. Inaccurate readings, frequently caused by aging components, dirt, or improper placement near windows or radiators, can lead to energy bill increases of 15% to 25%, according to ADEME.

Radiators that heat unevenly may be affected by trapped air, sludge buildup, faulty thermostatic valves, or hydraulic imbalances. Many of these issues can be addressed through simple diagnostic tests and maintenance, such as cleaning or bleeding the system, to resolve problems without professional intervention.
