Oriented on making people closer

In the first days of January, the weather on the territory of Turkmenistan played out a truly spring scenario. However, the situation is changing, and according to forecasters, the abnormal heat will soon be replaced by a sharp cooling with a decrease in temperature to minus marks at night.

And if on January 5, at +22 on the street in the afternoon, some Ashgabat residents even turned on air conditioners in their homes in order to somehow slow down the "breathing" of centralized heating systems, then after a couple of days, heat-loving Turkmen residents will need to return to the usual climate control regime for the winter period.

Every year in Turkmenistan, measures are taken to ensure the uninterrupted operation of public utilities during the winter heating season. Also, the country's fire department conducts various awareness-raising activities related to the operation of heating systems and facilities.

In addition to these rules, there are several other ways to keep the house warm in the cold, avoiding unnecessary heat loss, which is easy to prevent. In particular, this is facilitated by the elimination of cracks in windows and doors. Seal the openings with a special insulating tape, this will help to raise the average temperature in the room by 4-5 degrees.

Installing metal blinds on the windows will also help keep the room warm. The most significant air leaks tend to occur around windows. By investing in blinds, heavy drapes or curtains, you can provide additional insulation to your windows, preventing heat from leaving your home.

An excellent means of preserving heat are carpets, which are also a cozy attribute of everyday life. Turkmens in their history have succeeded in using this "insulator" from external influences on the dwelling – winds, dust, frost, turning at the same time a utilitarian, incredibly practical, almost non-demolishing thing into decorative interior elements. Another Arab traveler Al-Istakhri, who lived in the 11th century, wrote that Turkmen carpets, in addition to their stunning beauty, keep the house warm in the winter cold.

Of the modern methods, it is worth listening to the advice to cook food in the oven. A heated oven emits a lot of heat. Especially if you open the door after cooking, because the oven cools down slowly and radiates heat for some time. In addition, properly baked vegetables and meat are healthier than cooked or fried. Important: Make sure that the oven is turned off when the door is ajar. Close the door when all the heat comes out.

Turkmenistan is the richest country in gas reserves, but in everyday life everyone needs to follow the rules of its use for their own and collective security. In order to avoid dangerous situations, it is not recommended to warm the room with gas burners, especially to leave them unattended.

And it is not necessary to set a round-the-clock degree on the remote control + 30%: it is believed that for a night's sleep, the appropriate temperature in the room starts from a minimum of + 18, and during the day this maximum should be about + 25 degrees.

And one more life hack: before you go to work in the morning, specify what the weather will be for the day. If the sun is shining, open the blinds and curtains so that nature warms your home with its natural warmth. Ultraviolet radiation easily passes through the glass. Sunlight, falling on the surface of the object, becomes radiant heat. Don't forget to draw the warm curtains when the sun sets to keep it warm in the house.
