We are in the happy position of buggering off to NZ for 4 weeks, just before Christmas for our trip of a lifetime.
I've never been away for so long before and I'm slightly worried about leaving the house unheated for that length of time in the middle of winter.
I'm thinking of leaving the heating on for the minimum time (0.5 hour morning and evening) but with the thermostat set really low so that it'll only come on if the house gets really cold. (We live in a modern fairly well insulated house in East Anglia.)
Is this mad or a good idea? And if it is a good idea, any suggestions as to what temperature? I'm thinking maybe 12 degrees?
Thanks for any advice.
