The indoor room temperature recommended by Sis\u00e4ilmayhdistys ry is 20-22 degrees. If the room temperature is too high, it may result in tiredness, lack of concentration and other health-affecting symptoms.<\/p>\n
The heating period begins in the autumn, once the average outdoor air temperature drops to around 15 degrees. In the autumn, indoor air may feel colder than it is because the relative air humidity is at its highest. At the start of the heating period, it takes some time before the structures are heated and the humidity drops. The heating of the property is related to the outdoor air temperature because it determines the temperature of the water circulated in the radiator network. If there is a sharp drop in temperature, it may take a while before the heating can be felt in the apartments.<\/p>\n
Good to know: Each resident should obtain an indoor thermometer, at the latest if the temperature in the apartment feels abnormal.<\/p>\n The room temperature in a living area should be measured around one metre from the wall and at a height of around one metre. Before measuring the room temperature, you should avoid airing the room and make sure that all windows and doors are closed.<\/p>\n If the room temperature repeatedly remains below 20 degrees, contact your building\u2019s maintenance company.<\/p>\n VAV does not recommend using an additional heater, because this may result in the radiator thermostat reading the indoor temperature incorrectly and, in the worst-case scenario, trying to lower the room temperature. An additional heater left unattended in the apartment may also create a safety risk. To work, such a heater must consume additional electricity.<\/p>\n Please contact your building\u2019s maintenance company and the property manager prior to getting an additional heater.<\/p>\n From time to time, air may become trapped in the radiator, preventing water from circulating properly within it and the radiator from heating. Because bleeding the radiator is the maintenance company\u2019s job, if you suspect that there is air in your radiator you should inform your building\u2019s maintenance company.<\/p>\n
