Should You Leave the Heating On in an Empty Home During the Winter?
As the colder months settle in, many homeowners ask the same question: Should I leave the heating on when my property is empty? At Luxuria Property, we manage and care for a wide range of homes, and winter maintenance is one of the most important ways to protect your property year-round.
Why It Matters
When a house sits unoccupied during winter, it becomes more vulnerable to problems such as frozen pipes, damp and condensation. These issues can be costly to fix and may lead to long-term damage if left unchecked.
A Sensible Approach
While general guidance suggests keeping the heating around 12–15°C, at Luxuria we often recommend a slightly higher setting......around 17°C, or as warm as your budget allows. This helps prevent the expansion and contraction of materials, protecting the fabric of your home while still avoiding unnecessary energy use.
Modern Solutions
If your heating system allows, using a smart thermostat or timer can help you maintain control remotely. This ensures your home stays protected without wasting energy ideal for second homes, rental properties, or periods away during the holidays.
Peace of Mind Over Winter
Proper winter preparation doesn’t just prevent damage; it also provides peace of mind. At Luxuria Property, we help ensure your home stays safe, secure, and looked after throughout the colder months, whether you’re away for a week or the entire season.
