Have you put your heating on yet?

April is always variable. I remember one year swimming in Tarn Hows at the end of April; the next year we had driving snow! Heating still on here in North Yorkshire, but then we’re up high and usually “a coat colder” than, say, even Skipton

It’s not that variable down here. It’s been awful IMO. And obviously as we all know the wettest ever start to a year.

I have just decreased the 'morning' setpoint from 17 to 16c which is only just above the 15c setback night temp, reducing the amount of morning heating right down. Still not warm out, but the day feels more inviting now its light.

Bedroom temp is higher than the living room overnight but we only have the one room stat.

I'm genuinely fed up with the 6-7 months of crap weather.

I think I'm even more fed up with the no end in sight!

Any forecast I look at barely has even 'sunny spells' let alone anything better, for 10 days! Just not being any glimmer of hope to cling to, even Puggit's high pressure for last weekend ended up being very cold and not much sun.

Main farmhouse is staying at 17c without heating on,infact the central heating went off over a month ago but log burner is on occasionally as is the Dyson fan heater and kitchen aga stays warm after use for hours..
A couple of the bedrooms are down to 15c but they are empty atm..

What do you mean ‘after use?’

Every Aga we ever had in my family was either one or it was off, as such my mum currently turns hers off around beginning of May until some time in September.

Have they changed?

Had it on for 10 hours yesterday to get some heat back into the UFH, and it has been on again today for 7 hours. Although I've just switched the heating off now, and I've lit the Woodburner instead.

Central heating been down to just an hour in the morning for the past couple of weeks. Going to put it off totally now. Main room faces kinda south with lots of glass so warms up during the day and if it’s really overcast I can use the log burner in there in the evening. The bedrooms getting to 18/19 just from solar gain so no need to heat that now. In fact it gets too hot in the summer months.
