Have you put your heating on yet?

[IanUAE]

Nope, still using the A/C...... (which might turned off in December and back on in February).

Just moved and we have a proper fireplace but the missus is too scared to light it at the moment. Thinks the entire house will burn down if I go near it (which is probably correct - my man skills are somewhat disappointing). Anyway, I'll get it swept first before I pour on the petrol (that is how you start them - right?).

Just got to figure out the timer thingy for the CH as I'm not sure if it fires the boiler or launches a Saturn V rocket - too many buttons and no instructions! Google will no doubt be my friend here.

15.3C here so fleece and a cup of tea.

Lit the fire one evening last week but that's the only heating so far. I find heat from the log burner doesn't seem as stuffy as from central heating, I guess because it's drawing fresh air through the house.

No - the trick is to put the whole petrol container in there and then use a match to light it. Good to test how your reactions are doing,

Winter duvet went on last night

Mine has been on the last few days. Only really first thing in morning (6am) and about 8pm at night until 10pm ish. It gets turned off from March till about October.

Sorry, but why? What if it's -20 in April or 35 in October? Surely if it's cold you put the heating on regardless?

I put heating on already last week but this morning has been the coldest so far, just 1 C°.

might set it to just warm up bed and bath for waking up next week then then set the schedule properly

You people do realise that there is a thing that exists called heating without a thermostat??? i.e. you put the heating on and the individual radiators in each room then regulate the heat??? These systems have to either be off or on manually - you can't set them to come on and off by themselves according to temperature in the house.

Genuinely, no. Everyone I know has a thermostat on their heating. I thought the regs required it. You'll be telling me people still have coal fires next

Put the heating on last weekend to test the system was still sound and timed this to get the job done whilst SWMBO was out shopping. Unfortunately SWMBO returned a lot earlier than expected and has now had the heating on ever since

I'm resisting until November.

Mrs is in. I way impressed by this. Yet has been seen wearing a jumper once.

As you know, it adds extra warmth!

[K50 DEL]

Nope, still no sign of it being anywhere near cold enough yet... Think last year my heating was only on for a couple of months

[Condi]

Not yet, not, although I did attach the radiator to the wall just in case.
