When are you turning the heating on?

[FetlocksBlowingInTheWind]

Assuming that you will turn it on at some point, is there a date or a temperature you're waiting for?

It's only 16 degrees inside my house right now and my hands are freezing! But somehow it feels wrong to put the heating on before October.

I've set the thermostat to 18 the other day, rather than it being off as it has been over the summer.

At that temperature the heating probably won't come on until mid November as my house is fairly well insulated and doesn't often drop much lower than 17/18.

Turned mine on today for the first time

I had it in this morning, I’m severely disabled so a quick shower can take an hour or so. I will be cutting back on showers!

How can you be cold inside now??? Are you wearing enough clothes?

Try wet vaxxing your carpets. That will make you sweat!!!

Put my heating on for an hour this morning- it went up from 12.5 to 14 🥳

Are you addressing that to me? I'm working from home!!

It was 15.5 degrees in my living room when I got up this morning, I put the heating on for about an hour until I left for work, just got home and it’s 17.6 which is hardly warm for sitting around in an evening.

I cracked this evening for an hour. 10c outside and 15C inside. Now nice and toasty at 18C and I've turned it off again. Got some candles on too.

I was pleased that it looked like we wouldn't need it on at all from April till October and then GS came home from school sick. He's freezing, teeth chattering so I've put it on for an hour. That'll teach me.

Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Well that's a first

How is this newsworthy 😂😂

The comments 😱

Waves to Daily Mail readers 👋

I'm working from home, not watching tv all day! Sitting at a desk! Wearing a blanket, a jumper and wrist warmers and still cold!
Not earning six figures, working full time, what else have I missed? 😂

Temperatures are warming up again so it looks like it will be way into October this year before our heating goes on.

I've been fine without heating in daytime max of 13 and nighttime low of 5.
I'm wearing a fleece sometimes in the day and have my new heated blanket in the evenings.

Happy days. I ❤️ autumn.

I’m glad temperatures are due to warm up again. Our living room is currently reading 15 degrees. I’ve just put the fire on!

I'm not. I have electric heaters which quadrupled my bill when I used them before I realised. I bought Oodies instead.

Mine comes on automatically in the morning if my office goes below 16˚ overnight. I'm £560 in credit at the moment so I've sort of saved over the summer. We will see if that was enough.

I had to put mine on to dry clothes as it was raining and I’ve no dryer. I hung on the heated airer but they didn’t dry. They literally dried in an hour on the radiator. I’ve put it on a couple of times in the morning as well for an hour for shower and to help the towels dry afterwards. Slept in a hoodie the other night so it’s definitely dropped in temperature here.

I guess it depends where you live. If it’s cold outside but still sunny our house warms but once the sun has gone it really cools down.

I also never have it on over night. If it’s on the it goes off about 10pm and then back on at 6:30. Not on all day though as we are usually out. At the moment it might need an hour some mornings and evenings but on the heart of winter it’s usually on from 4pm-10pm and then back on 6:30am-7:30am.

Definitely not yet! Jumpers and blankets for now!

Ours has been on an hour or two a day over the last week. Trying not to put it on during the day if I'm off and kids are at school. Definitely seems to have got colder quite suddenly!

It really is colder. We changed our downstairs flooring in the spring to wood (from carpet) and whilst it was fab in the summer it’s now definitely making for a colder house.

I've just put it in for an hour this morning

Fluffy warm clothes cannot be overrated! Likewise making sure I'm not sedentary at my desk all day, which would be a bad thing either way, but moving really does make a difference to feeling cold. Our house has been quite cold this past week but I've managed fine most of the time with just putting more on, and one day when I was a bit too chilly I just had a hot drink and that solved it! Warm fluffy blanket in the evening too. Saying that, this morning is the first that our bedroom hasn't felt freezing out of the duvet! Our heating will go on when none of this works. I'm in the midlands.

Slippers make the biggest difference to me, when sat at my home desk.

As luck would have it, I've just trained the dog to go and fetch them for me. Most useful
