Well you should know about the boiler check in case you ever do become responsible for it. In most cases you will void the warranty for the boiler if you don't have an annual check. In nearly all cases, it's also a requirement for your house insurance.

It used to be. I remember it on my insurance in 2015. Since than I was with 3 different companies and none had it. My current one says service within last 3 years is acceptable.

How very rude of you! I can't see what's to be gained by making a pointless little jab like that.

I can't imagine where you live where there was any air cool enough to activate a heating system this summer. Our doors and windows were open permanently for about 3 months and I live in the far north of England where many people seem to think it's permanently winter. Our heating never came on once, as it never does in the summer, even an ordinary one. You must have some weird little micro climate in your area. Either that or there's something wrong with your heating system.

@Nayone wasn't making any kind of jab. Some people are so sensitive, always looking for something with which to take issue.

19 is plenty warm enough for me.

I came on to ask about this but I thought I was being dense! We rarely 'put the heating on'. We have the thermostat set and it kicks in when it drops below that.

What do people actually mean when they say they've put the heating on?

I mean occasionally we do override it but only if it's particularly cold outside and the house isn't warming up quick enough.

Our thermostat is just an on/off switch. It doesn't work properly. If we turn the dial round far enough it comes on and stays on. If it gets too hot we turn it off or turn a radiator off. But even if we had a modern, working thermostat, we would still turn it off for the summer. It's part of marking the seasons. Also, with spring and summer light temperatures that seem cold in winter feel OK. Psychological but it happens, so why not save some money by preventing it from coming on on cooler days.

Yes. Our heating comes on whenever the temperature gets below 20c. We don't have it on at night.

I don't spend my life looking for reasons to be offended (mainly because I just don't care enough what other people think) but they absolutely were trying to be rude. Why I have no idea. Some people are just like that.

I must admit I haven't looked at the current policy so closely but it's also usually part of a new boiler's warranty.

I could ask the same of you.

I cracked on Wednesday. Had it on for a couple of hours each day but I’ve got a little heater that I use so the whole flat isn’t getting heated when it doesn’t need to be. It’s well cold and it’s stormy!

I've had mine on for the last month, comes on at 8.30am, goes off at 11.00am then back on at 3.00pm & off at 7.00pm
