We've reached that point in the year where we are sticking the heating on occasionally, but don't really need it on regularly yet.
It's also that point in the year when we start to see condensation on windows etc, especially in the morning, in rooms that have been slept in.
So, this morning it was a bit chilly, and DS and I are home for a lot of the day today so I thought I'd put the heating on for a bit to warm the house up. Then I opened the windows to air the place out.
To me, it seems sensible to heat up a bit and then open windows as the heat will get all of the air/moisture moving and then opening the windows will let all of the moisture in the air out once it's mobile.
I know I'm wasting a bit of heat, but it's not like the windows are open all day, just long enough to get rid of the sleep smell/stuffiness. Plus the house does still actually heat up in the time the windows are open.
DH doesn't see the point in putting the heating on until I shut the windows, but if it was left to him he just wouldn't bother airing the house at all.
Who is right?

To put the heating on AND open the windows?
