If all the heating in your house was switched off, how cold would it get?

[sotty6]

Our spare room is down to 9.9 degrees!

Doesn't usually get below 15' currently but it's not THAT cold here yet. Tonight might be a different story!

Overnight in ds1's room it gets to about 15 by 5am. That's the coldest I've ever seen it.

My room got to 14 last night which im surprised and pissed off at as my house is externally insulated - i dont understand how it could get to that temp to be honest

When it's really cold ours gets to about 9 degrees upstairs. We don't have the heating on at night. Currently it's about 12.

We only turned our heating on yesterday. So, 14 degrees at night, about 17 during the day. It's modern & well insulated but we're on a hillside with nothing but a couple of trees between us & the horizon. We own quite a few blankets.

It's 1 degree in London

With no heating on for the 6 hours we were out today it was 14 degrees in the house when we came back

Perishing !

I'm barely warm after the heating being on now for 5 hours !

A week without heating after Storm Desmond. Cold cold cold lots of early nights under the duvet.

I don't know, but I have found ice on the inside of our windows in the past. We have original 19th century metal frame windows and no double glazing on most of them (we don't pay the heating bill thank goodness).

Bloody cold.

Our electricity - and therefore our heating- has been off since 10pm last night. It is currently 15.3 in our kitchen although DH did cook a chicken stew for a few hours on the hob. Not sure what the temperature is upstairs but it is much colder especially in our 2 North facing bedrooms. I've just got hot water bottles and sleeping bags out ready for tonight. Latest estimate for power to be restored is 8pm tomorrow. Temperature outside is currently -1c and going down to -4c later on.

My house gets down to about 15.5 from 18 in around 7 hours. So I reckon it would get pretty cold...

Back when the gro egg worked, it would get down to 9 in winter.

Haven't got the means to test accurately.

So at a rough guess, it's fucking freezing.

On the plus side, really cool in summer.

My boiler died in November a few years ago. Within hours the house was as cold or colder as sitting outside. It took a while for the boiler to be fixed, we needed to move out until it was.

Our heating broke last year over Christmas and we were unable to get it fixed quickly. (Luckily we were able to move in with my parents.) We'd not moved in long. The house was very badly insulated and it dropped right down to only a couple of degrees above the outside temperature.
Since then we have put in new windows and used various methods of improving the heat retention such as silicone strips around all the doors and putting special balloons up the fireplaces.
It took a full three days of constant heating on to warm the bones of the house back up again after the new boiler and radiators were installed!

It got down to 8 degrees in my house last night. EIGHT DEGREES.
My DF is staying with us and turned the heating off as apposed to down, whereas it's usually on low all the time.

The heating has been on at 25c today and I'm just about warm again.

After a weeks holiday in winter we came back to the house at 9 degrees

Heating was switched off upstairs at about 7:30 this morning. By 3pm, it was 15 degrees upstairs. We had the heating on downstairs for some of that time.

11.6c in the hall. Just moved thermometer upstairs.

I have my bedroom window open all year round so upstairs is cold. I like a cold bedroom with warm duvet and coverlet too in the winter.

Ours can go to about 11 degrees if it’s cold outside. We never have the heating on at night.

We live in a very old cottage, but with the heating or wood burner on, it’s toasty warm.

11 degrees today
I only moved into this house in July so we'll see if it gets colder....

About 10 degrees. Gets down to about 12 most nights but we don't have much heating on. When we do the thermostat is set to 18 so the house is never boiling. If its too cold, we go out first.

I don't know about now, I'm away from home and it hasn't been particularly cold up to now. I think recently it's gone down to 16.5 overnight where the thermostat is in the hall, but the north facing bedrooms which are rarely heated are probably colder. London.

Front of the house, approaching ice on the inside of the windows. Rooms at the back of the house, warm in winter, cool in summer. Old house which I love, less so the scorched arse from radiator sitting in the cold rooms.
