What temperature should I set my room at?

As your trusted Gas Safe registered (505424) heating specialists serving Birmingham, Solihull, Bromsgrove, Redditch, and surrounding areas, we understand that achieving optimal temperature settings throughout your home can significantly impact both comfort and energy efficiency. Drawing from our decade of experience, including our work with British Gas, we've created this comprehensive room-by-room temperature guide.

Ideal Room-by-Room Temperature Settings

Living Areas

Based on our extensive experience across Birmingham homes, we recommend maintaining living rooms and commonly used spaces between 19-21°C during active hours. This temperature range has consistently proven to provide optimal comfort while keeping energy costs manageable. For enhanced efficiency, we suggest utilising programmable thermostats to reduce temperatures when these spaces are unoccupied.

Bedrooms 

Our heating experts recommend maintaining bedroom temperatures between 16-19°C. Through our installations and customer feedback, we've found this range promotes better sleep quality. For homes with different preferences, our team can help adjust your heating system or zoning controls to accommodate individual needs.

Kitchen 

Given our experience with various Birmingham properties, we suggest setting kitchen temperatures between 18-20°C. The additional heat generated from cooking and appliances typically raises the ambient temperature naturally. Our heating specialists can help you optimise your system to account for this additional heat generation.

Bathrooms 

We recommend bathroom temperatures between 21-23°C for optimal comfort. We can install programmable controls to ensure your bathroom is warm for morning routines while maintaining efficiency throughout the day.

Special Considerations

Homes with Young Children 

We advise maintaining temperatures between 20-22°C. Our heating experts can help you set up zoned heating solutions to maintain warmer temperatures in nurseries while optimising efficiency throughout the rest of your home.

Elderly Residents 

Drawing from our extensive experience serving Birmingham's elderly residents, we recommend maintaining consistent temperatures between 21-23°C. Our team can install and configure your heating system to maintain these stable temperatures efficiently, whether you have a traditional boiler or an air source heat pump.

Night-time Settings 

Through our heating system installations across the West Midlands, we've helped numerous customers optimise their night-time settings. We recommend programming your system to gradually lower temperatures by 2-3°C overnight, which can reduce energy consumption while improving sleep quality.
