Your thermostat temperature?

16 is our base rate for overnight and when we are out

18 when we are in with the option of turning it up to 20 if we settle in front of the tv. We use the log burner if it gets really cold out, all doors open so we don't have the heating pop on overnight, if possible

I have ME and getting cold is a trigger

Not in my house. On a very cold day the temperature downstairs struggles to get above 18 even if the stat is on 21. It's very difficult to heat.

We don't really use the thermostat. When I feel cold I'll put the heating on. It's never on overnight.

@Cucy I don't have a thermostat either.

My heating is set at 10 as and when we need it and off at night. It's neither insane or cruel. I have a small house so after a few hours I'm far too hot so it goes off again

30/45 mins before bed take your thermostat upstairs then your bedroom can heat up! We don’t put any more logs on at this point as the heating kicks in. When we forget we go to a freezing bedroom which is horrible.

Will get thermostats on all the radiators at some point but that’s for another day!

18/19 in the daytime
16 at night

21 during the day off at night. Im nearly 2.5k in credit with bg so need some of it back.

9.3C at home. we are away in the caravan at Chatsworth, so will pop the heating on at home remotely for a couple of hours tonight then put it on tomorrow morning set to 18, hopefully it might warm through a bit for when we get home tomorrow afternoon. Caravan is probably about 18c with heating on full blast so not that warm. I will set it at 20 at home tomorrow evening which is our usual temperature.

It’s not insane or cruel, it’s the temperature I prefer. Different people have different tastes!

22 on the coldest days, turned down to 20 at night. Otherwise 21 turned down to 19 at night.

It's not insane or cruel.

The temperature varies quite a bit in my house. If I set it to 16 downstairs the middle floor would be baking hot.If I set the middle to 18C the downstairs would be below 16C.

Sensible people use something like gas central heating to do the heavy lifting keep the whole house at a certain level on the cheap, then warm the rooms individually as they are used. I'm not going to heat my whole house to 20C when I am in 1 room for most of the day. 16C or even lower is fine.

Some people are in a competition to demonstrate how little energy they can use. But there are also people who seem to be in a competition as to how much gas they can burn as well.

Usually set mine to 19-20, it's slightly warmer at 21 at the moment though due to the cold. Sometimes will turn it off over night as I don't like to be too warm.when I'm trying to sleep.

17, day and night.

2 bedroom house, costs about £500 a year.

16 degrees is insane, cruel. I know people on this forum set the temp to 18 but that is too far too cold for me.

Our is set between 20 and 23 depend how it feels ie there's no wind today and the house isn't very cold so it's set to 21. No heating in the bedroom ever and window wide open all night. Love a cold bedroom and fresh air.

18 in day, 16 at night. Use log burner mostly & leave doors open so warms whole house, put coal on before bed & it’s still glowing in the morning .

20 when we’re home. Otherwise off.

16 during the day and 13 at night, I occasionally boost it to 18 if it feels really cold. My son has his house set to 12!

It's on at 17 from 6am until 8pm, off overnight. Sometimes we boost to 18/19/20 for a hour if there is washing on the airer and we want it away.

DH is WFH and seems happy. When I work from home I put on a heated throw. We also have an electric under blanket that heats independently each side. DHs is always off, mine will be on most bedtimes from now until spring.

I always feel the cold and I just can't get warm once my temperature drops, unless I sit in a scorching bath. I would really recommend a heated throw and a electric under blanket, it has been an absolute game changer.

I'm snuggled in my throw right now it is fab..

We don’t use a timer. Thermostat is set at 21 in the sitting room, we turn it off at around 10 pm and whoever is up first, turns it back to 21. We’ve never felt the need to have the heating on all night.

I think she means if she feels colder. Or maybe she’s not 100% sure how the thermostat works but the sentiment is the same - she’s having on a temperature that she feels comfortable at regardless of cost.

He’d hate me - ours is set to 20.5 during the day, and I frequently boost it to 22 if I get cold (despite wearing lots of layers, before anyone comes at me and tells me to wear a jumper!)

I don't have a thermostat as I don't have central heating. I do have a thermometer though. Originally bought for the fridge but can also be used for rooms.

It’s set to 18 but if I’m cold and it hasn’t clicked in I turned it up till clicks

life is too short to be cold

unless seriously struggling money wise and can’t afford to heat house

I pay £150 all year round so summer bills are 40/50 and it adds up the credit. Then when the cold months of Nov Dec jan feb and its 300/400 a month there usually enough in credit

It's always competitive underheating on here 😂 mine does go on overnight because my toddler is a blanket refuser and his bedroom is the coldest room in the flat😅 I'm a terrible mumsnetter 😂

I think OP either has the thermostat in a very well insulated room so it warms up quicker than the rest of the house or she doesn’t move and freezes. Need to move around for circulation and to stay warm, heating is pointless alone.
