FAQs
When do I turn on the radiators?
It is best to get the radiators running and fires going at -20 degrees and below, as it will take time for the place to warm up.
I can’t sleep since it’s always cold, what do I do?
Turn on the radiators somewhere close to the evening so the room gets warmed up before you go to bed. Even if you had the radiators running the whole day, switching them off should keep the room warm for up to 6 hours.
The fireplace doesn’t keep me warm enough, why is that?
The further away from the fireplace you are, the harder it gets to get warm. Standing near the fireplace always helps.
Do I need to turn on all the radiators inside the house?
It is best to keep all the radiators inside your house, especially the ones in the garage and your room. This helps keep the place warm and also helps jumpstart your car when required.
I’ve kept all the radiators on but my house doesn’t get warm, what do I do?
Check whether you have paid your electricity bills first, then turn the radiator on and off a couple of times. Make sure that the temperature set on the radiator is at max.
