We moved house in the summer to an old house with old style boiler and hot water tank. Now it's colder we've just started to have the heating on. (It got down to 12 last night ds's room).
We've been talking to some friends who have same who say its more economical to keep the central heating switched on, and use the thermostat to keep the house at an ambient temperature rather than what we are doing at the moment, keeping the central heating switched off all the time (the separate hot water thingy is on for 30 minutes morning and evening) but turned on for a bit when we can't stand the cold anymore.
I have to say I'd love it to be a nice 16 or 17 degrees all day as I'm at home being pregnant and with a 2yo ds and i don't want him to be freezing at nighttime.
But DP says it must cost more to keep the heating on and he can't see the point of it.
Which do you think is economically better and would the difference be big enough to excuse suffering enduring cold temps through the winter?

So, is it better to keep CH on constantly with thermostat low?
