Mid-Season Thermal Comfort: Tips to Avoid the Yo-Yo Effect

How to keep your home comfortable when the days heat up… but the nights are still chilly?

The mid-season – neither truly summer nor really winter – brings a real challenge when it comes to maintaining thermal comfort. Temperature shifts are frequent, and without proper adjustment, the chill or sudden changes can quickly disrupt your everyday well-being.

1. Set Your Thermostat Like a Pro

• Keep a stable, reasonable temperature – around 19 °C in your living spaces – to avoid uncomfortable fluctuations.

• Make use of your heating system’s programming features, ideally with smart controls, to adjust heating schedules (comfort/eco) according to your daily routine.

  
  

2. Combine Insulation with Natural Heat Sources

• Strengthen insulation, especially in walls, attics, and windows: a well-insulated home retains warmth more effectively and prevents rapid heat loss.

• During the day, open curtains or shutters to let in the sun’s warmth, then close them at night to preserve that natural thermal gain.

3. Choose the right system for the mid-season

• In the bathroom, a dual-fuel towel warmer (combining hot water with an electric heating element or fan) is the perfect choice. It keeps the room cozy even when the central heating is switched off.

• With its “boost” or fan function, it heats up quickly, delivering instant warmth whenever you need it.
  

4. Choose a smart system

• Connected room thermostats: They automatically adjust the temperature based on your presence and daily habits, ensuring both comfort and energy savings.

• Next-generation radiators: Models with inertia or gentle heat provide a stable, even temperature without drying out the air.
  

5. Combine systems with simple habits

As energy efficiency becomes an ecological, economic, and regulatory priority (RE2020, DPE, etc.), thermal inertia is emerging as a key factor in the design of modern homes.

Tip	Expected effect
Temperature set to 19 °C + programming	Controlled, tailored heating
Insulation + sunlight	Natural warmth and better heat retention
Dual-function towel warmer (with Boost)	Efficient spot heating in mid-season
Smart thermostat + boiler	Automation and precise regulation
Inertia radiator	Consistent comfort with gentle, even heat
