While trying to calculate the ideal temperature for your home, it should not be forgotten that you actively use each room for different purposes and at different times. Therefore, the ideal temperature for rooms can vary by a few degrees.
It is possible to say that the ideal residential temperature is generally around 20 degrees Celsius or 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Now let's examine the ideal environments for different rooms:
Now you know that the average temperature is between 68 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit in order to use your boiler in the most efficient and energy-efficient way while keeping your comfort high in your home. Indeed, generally, 68 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended by experts to save energy in the winter months.
But as you can imagine, the same temperature may not be "best" for every situation, type of residence, location, or lifestyle. That's why we wanted to briefly talk about the factors that affect the ideal residential temperature in the UK:
The dry air of the winter months causes your skin to lose moisture at a high rate. Moisture loss will mean rapid evaporation of the liquid contained in the skin layer. This feeling causes you to feel cold faster in a short time. In summer, high humidity will reduce evaporation and cause you to be overwhelmed.
The health status or age of the individuals living at home are among the factors affecting the temperature to be preferred. For example, higher temperatures may be preferred in homes with children or elderly individuals.

The facade, floor, or location of a house will also affect the ideal temperature you need in your home. For example, in a south-facing residence, temperatures of less than 78 degrees are recommended. But if your home is facing the north or if the place in question is a school / nursery where children spend time, this temperature may cause chills.
For a boiler to work efficiently, we can say that it is generally beneficial to keep the house at a constant temperature. Because not heating the house at certain hours means that when you run the boiler, the house consumes much more energy to reach the determined temperature. So, the comfort of the house that cannot keep the heat in itself will be lower.
That's why we generally recommend that you don't completely close the boiler that has to heat your home to the ideal temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and 78 degrees in summer. But of course, not closing does not mean not changing the degree when it is not necessary at that moment. You can still turn down the temperature when everyone is outside the house, ie. at work during daylight hours.
For a healthy and comfortable experience, the minimum room temperature of a house in the UK should not fall below 18 degrees. Especially since the immune system of the elderly is a little weaker, it is recommended to pay extra attention to this in homes and public areas where the elderly and children are present.
The temperature that can be expressed as "cold for the home" in the UK is approximately 12 degrees Celsius. This temperature, which will cause you to feel uncomfortable and cold, can cause you to develop various health problems.
If there is a problem with your boiler and therefore your thermostat shows a level between 12 and 18 degrees, you may need to fix the problem urgently. You can contact us to purchase an Affordable new combi boiler and to benefit from the extra warranty period with Zara Heating privilege.
The outside air temperature has to have a direct impact on the operating performance of the boiler in your home. That's why hot water boiler products usually receive information from a weather sensor installed in the north of the house. This information enables the boiler to regulate operating performance with weather compensation technology and bring the house to the ideal temperature level.
