Stay warm and healthy this winter

Posted to on Share:

In the UK, the ideal temperature for the home is defined as 21°C in the living room and 18°C elsewhere. If the room is too cold the body becomes more susceptible to respiratory diseases, therefore increasing the risk of stroke, heart attack or hypothermia

A room that’s too warm can cause problems, such as eczema, lethargy, poor concentration, disturbed sleep and fatigue, not to mention wasted money on excessive heating bills.

Electronic Temperature Instruments (ETI) has introduced the Comfort thermometer which encourages temperature awareness for those most at risk from associated health issues. Many winter related illnesses are caused by a gradual drop in temperature over a sustained period of time. As people get older, their bodies do not respond as well to temperature changes, and many may not even realise that the drop in temperature is causing damage to their health.

The Comfort thermometer’s easy to read colour-coded digital display alerts the user when the temperature has dropped to unsafe levels. Below 16°C a digital arrow points towards the blue area of the LCD indicating that the room temperature is too cold. The unit correspondingly indicates when the room temperature is comfortable or too hot. The comfort level indicator displays both the room humidity and temperature, in addition to recording the maximum and minimum readings.
