There is a widespread perception that to keep the heat in premises, you need to carefully close all doors. However, this is just a myth, according to Express. Actually, there are other ways to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house.

Effective ways to keep your home warm

Contrary to popular belief, closing all the doors in the house does not always lead to improved energy efficiency. On the contrary, some situations require leaving internal doors opened. This becomes especially urgent when central heating is used. Open doors allow the warm air to be better distributed throughout the house. However, if you heat only one room, then closing the door may be reasonable, as it helps to keep the heat in that room.

If you have a heat source in your home, such as a fireplace or wood stove, it is important to keep the door closed. This helps to keep the heat in the room you are in and avoid it from escaping. Ensuring that windows and doors are tightly sealed is also helpful for maximizing the thermal insulation in your home.
