Heating temperature

Just wondering what temperature you set your heating to in the winter? My DH doesn’t feel the cold so thinks 19 degrees C is ok. They rest of the family think the house is cold. We aren’t waltzing round in T-shirts either, I wear wool jumpers and a vest top most days.Just wondering if I’m being pathetic

I have a minimum of 15 overnight. Heating only needs to kick in on very cold nights.

Heating has been off since 10pm and it’s still 17 at the minute. So probably won’t dip enough over night.

The things I do for the cat

Mine's 10C at night, 18C during the day. Still too warm though so I'll have to turn it down.

I feel the cold but conversely, don't like a hot house. We leave ours on 17 during the day, never heat the bedrooms and have it off at night. I wear merino thermals all the time and plenty of layers though. I can't bear staying in houses where they heat the bedrooms. I get a raging headache.

Anywhere between 18 and 21 downstairs hotter end of DH is out because I feel the cold and never above 17 upstairs.

Heating goes off at 9pm and windows open to sleep.
We don't have the heating on a timer because of shift work so just turn it up when we have to.

16 -18 here and only turn it on when DC complain of being cold. I'm always warm and keep if off in my room.

Heating clicks on when thermostat reaches 16 during the day, 15 at night. Heating is also set to come on at 20 degrees for 45mins in the morning, afternoon and evening. We wear many layers and sometimes work with hot water bottles on our laps. The flat is old and single-glazed and costs a fortune to heat.

21 during the day but no heating after 8ish, can’t sleep if it’s too hot
