The changes of season are one of the times when you have to work the most at home. Change the clothes in the closets, on the bed, and even take advantage of fashions and colors to touch a piece of decoration that makes our environment more welcoming. That, added to the upcoming festivities, makes every space count, and we try to ensure that our economic efforts do not escalate while we maintain the balance between house and home.
But one of the issues that most concern families when winter approaches is the cold. With one eye always on the temperature map, we prepare for the arrival of rain and snow trying to avoid a word that scares us all: works. We want heat, but if we do not live in a house with a pre-installed heating system, air conditioning is also an issue to be resolved directly and effectively, without a large investment, and with several options that can provide an optimal solution.
To choose a suitable heating system, you must take into account the specific needs of each house, based on the climate of the area. A house located in the northern mountains will not need the same heat as a family residing in the southern coastal area. We must also take into account the size and shape of the home, where we spend the most time, or what insulation it has. For different types of housing there are ideal solutions with which to protect ourselves from the cold.
Think about where we live to know how we want to live
Starting from the important factor of the location and climatic zone in which we live, there are heating systems that can be used throughout the year. Despite popular belief, the air-conditioning It can also heat a house. They are devices equipped with a heat pump that can cool in summer and heat in winter, using the same system but in reverse. The outside air transforms an internal fluid into a liquid or gas, depending on whether we want to cool or heat.
Nowadays, almost all air conditioners include this option. Years ago, these devices did not work very well in cold climates, but today they have considerably improved their performance. The heat pump is the most efficient heating system that exists since its consumption is very low, something that is appreciated when the bill arrives. In addition, the latest generation equipment works silently without losing the elegant and decorative touch, especially those from brands such as LG, which allow you to use some models as a frame for paintings and photos, whether printed or digital.
Another factor to take into account is the size of the home, and how to take advantage of resources to heat rooms individually. For this, a solution may be oil radiators, which emit heat through a fluid, an internal thermal oil that is heated by shielded electrical resistances, and which have become a popular option because they are comfortable and easy to transport, without no need for installation of any kind and easy handling.
This type of radiators They are also very comfortable to use in a small home, they have wheels to be able to move from one room to another and only one electrical outlet is needed to connect them. They are silent, emit no waste, and most can be programmed. Of course, they take a while to heat up and are not suitable for very large rooms, but they function optimally as a support or occasional resource in temperate climates and are available in different sizes to improve the air conditioning of any corner, from mini models of just seven elements to others with greater heating capacity with up to 12. And once turned off, they retain heat for up to four hours.
Furthermore, the new models They also provide a touch of distinction to the rooms where we are going to use them, providing a note of color. Ariete’s retro designs are ideal for historic homes, but there are also others with much more sophisticated aspects that are also neutral and low consumption.
Decorate while warming
Influenced by the movies hollywoodWe have all fantasized at some point about having a fireplace in the living room that acts as a quiet setting to be with the family or as a couple. But maintaining a “real” fireplace entails a series of complications that also include work that is difficult to do on a floor. However, the heaters They are the perfect solution to heat small rooms, second homes or to support large rooms in specific moments of very cold weather. Its practicality also includes varied designs depending on the use we are going to give it.
There are vertical models that include very interesting elements, such as the timer, the ventilation function or the movement sensor. They are suitable for heating rooms with a lot of activity, spreading heat well. Another option is to choose a wall heater, which can be installed on the wall so that it does not interfere with the floor, and which allows the hot air to be distributed throughout the room. And, of course, there are imitations of a chimney gas or wood, ideal for rustic or larger homes.
