Same as title really. I still say the room is way too hot.

I will not say what it is yet to get a rough average.

Also where's the stat? Mine's at 21 in the living room, but 21 in the hall would be a roasty house.

We don't have a thermostat, but a comfortable temperature for us is 16-19 degrees. Anything over 20 is too hot for me, likewise 15 or less gets me feeling a bit chilly unless I'm doing something requiring effort - DIY, cooking etc.

Heating is off overnight and we let it fall down to whatever it gets to - usually 13-15 degrees unless the outside temperatures are considerably below freezing.

It seems to be set to 'surface of the sun'.

Stat in the hall set to 18-20 degrees depending on how cold I feel! Usually 15 degrees at night.

19 for the last week or so, but I'm thinking of dropping it back to 18 again. Went up when I swapped to a digital thermostat, which also means we've now got 14 degrees overnight (this is also likely to drop to maybe 12 degrees imminently).

Got complaints for a while when I first imposed 18, but the children soon learned to put more clothes on in winter.
