Have you put your heating on yet?

[chrisga]

No heating been on yet. Lounge currently 18.5°C but the chimney was swept today so wood burner might be in action soon.

Nah, not yet and not for a while either. Its still fairly warm IMO but I also wear shorts all year round so there might just be something wrong with me!

Are you a postman? Nearly all the ones round here are shorted and booted most of the year.

I've never understood this turning it off and on. Mine stays on all year. If it gets cold it comes on. Its got cold so, yes, the heating is on

Why don't you time it so it doesn't come on late evening and night when you are in bed? It gets colder at night, so your heating is going to be coming on earlier in the year and when you can't appreciate it because you are already toasty under a duvet.

The dog's pleased with the heating...

Just like my house. The animals are warmer and eat better than me. (Lovely K9 by the way.)

Mine lives around 18-20 degrees. Too warm gives me a headache.

Same here; when I have control anyway, I absolutely hate a hot house, some of my friends whack theirs up so it is stifling, I just can't bear it.

If it too hot I get all stuffy and agitated.

I'm the same. I work outside all day so anything warmer than that feels warm. 18 is what I set it to for myself than 19.5-20 if guests are coming over. nothing to do with money its just the way I like it.

Cheers. He's a bit happier tonight...

Yes, set it for an hour each in the morning and evening, as well as liberal use of the gas fire. I'm currently living at my grandparent's former house and have lots of happy childhood memories of sitting next to it in the winter, so I'm feeling quite nostalgic. It also gives my cat something to stare at.

Came in to work and the heating is blazing away, it's like a sodding furnace.

I can't stand this, why are we running the heating every day at certain times, surely we should be having it running to some form of setpoint. At least our windows open, so all that heat can go straight out the window when we all open them!

[Nickbrapp]

I put it on in September about the 3rd week, now I have it on every morning set to 22 degrees, I refuse to be cold to save a few quid a year.

[K50 DEL]

Nope, nowhere near cold enough yet, still wearing shorts around the house and sleeping with the windows open.

Came into the office this morning and some muppet had put the heating on, must have been 80 degrees, needless to say it's now off and the windows are all open, a lovely breeze blowing through.

[Autopilot]

On a slight tangent, I'm having my heating put in today so I'll be able to see what all the fuss is about

I rather regret the fact that we scrapped it actually - it was done for the Staples 2 Naples banger rally in 2006, caused no end of a stir driving through Europe, even got sent a video of us on an Italian highway.

[graham22]

My heating's never off - on the thermostat, if it gets to cold it kicks in, if not cold it doesn't.

Am I doing this right.






OK - might admit to turning it up when it gets really cold but I haven't yet.

[RizzoTheRat]

Thermostat's set at a constant temperature in my flat and the heating did come on the other night for the first time. My wife's had the fire lit at home a few evenings too but then again she seems to run several degrees hotter than me anyway.

[Funk]

Stat is set to ~17 degrees and heating will come on if it drops below that (hasn't yet). I currently still have windows open slightly 24/7!
