How nice to have a veranda!
This place bathed in light is a real room in its own right in which you can relax and receive guests.
Nevertheless, even with good insulation, winter temperatures weaken the many glazings that make up your veranda each year, thus causing a significant loss of heat.
If some desert this room until the return of fine weather, others put their hands in their wallets, even if it means consuming too much.
The solution ?
Find the most suitable heating system.
Auxiliary heaters
If, and only if, your veranda is quite small (less than 20 m2) and above all well insulated, opt for electric heating.
Compact and easy to install, it will take care of spreading heat without cutting a hole in your budget.
You can also have electric convectors installed in each corner of the room or bet on a wood or pellet stove.
Very trendy, this type of heating produces enough heat while giving a cocooning and warm appearance to the space.
Be careful, however, to inform yourself well beforehand: equipping yourself with a wood stove requires certain constraints.
Consider, for example, the installation of smoke evacuation ducts.
Finally, remember to turn off your heating at night so as not to waste energy or unnecessarily increase your electricity bill.
Extend your central heating
For those who have a sufficiently powerful boiler, know that you may be able to extend the heating circuit of your home to your veranda.
Indeed, effective and economical for some households, this alternative allows you to connect radiators or underfloor heating to your existing central heating.
Limit consumption
The heat pump is also a highly recommended option for heating your veranda.
Ultra-economical, this device replaces a boiler and produces more energy than it consumes;
a real revolution!
Here you will have to choose between the air-to-air pump and the air-to-water pump.
The first is recommended to be able to heat your veranda in winter and air-condition it in summer.
Indeed, its system draws in cold outside air to transform it into warm air inside in winter, and vice versa in summer.
The second, for its part, can only be used in the winter season since it will heat the heating water circuit of the house.
Think green
The most environmentally conscious families can use the sun's energy in other ways.
However, the veranda is the ideal place to adopt this ecological heating system since it is most often very well exposed to be able to benefit from a maximum of luminosity.
Here you will have the choice between solar panels that will transform solar radiation into natural heat, while photovoltaic models will create electricity to power your radiators or heaters.
New technologies at your service
Home automation enthusiasts will probably go for connected heating.
This alternative allows you to control the thermostat of your veranda using a smartphone.
If you are interested, first of all you will need to obtain connected sockets, to which you can then connect your individual boiler, your heat pump or even your electric heating, if your appliances can adapt to this new tool.
