What’s the temperature in your home?

[70sShmeventies]

I’m curious. What temperature is your home right now and where in the country are you? What sort of property do you live in?

4 bed 70s detached in the southeast and we are 18 degrees after having the heating on for a couple of hours earlier. Without hearing we were at 17 degrees.

Thermostat set at 21. Down from 22 last year.

22C. Heating on all day. Scotland.

15

New hive. It's been 18.8 degrees always. It's been really warm and the heating has only been on twice until this week.

Detached house in Central Scotland. Heating is on. It’s 22 inside. 2 degrees outside.

my living room says 16.3

my hive says 17.0 (its in the hall)

merseyside

The sitting room is 20 degrees (log burner). The rest of the house is about 12 degrees.

I'll put the central heating on for half an hour later, to warm the bedrooms, and put a hot water bottle in ds's bed. 😊

Old cottage. 10 degrees so nice and warm!

It's 19'C in my living room - the heating will come on at 18.5 (no idea why DH must have set it) It's 5'C outside. We're in a 1950's semi. The kitchen will be colder.

SE 3 bed (over 3 floor) victorian mid terrace. Its 5 degrees outside and is 17 in most rooms inside because i had the heating on for an hour at 5. Prior to that it was 14.1 downstairs. Im absolutely freezing 🥶

Around 23/24 I think

3 story Victorian semi. Midlands.
We're experimenting with thermostat at 18 and heating on all day. Rather than blasts of 21 degrees at beginning and end of day for 2 hours.
Have felt comfortably warm all day as opposed to frozen in middle of the day.
Er're both ho.e all day which doesn't help.
But not looked at numbers yet...

18.6 degrees. Heating on all the time with a setting of '2' on all the radiators which seems to keep the house between 18 and 20 degrees. We are not in the UK and benefit from a district heating system, so our heating and hot water are pumped into the house from a municipal heating source. Cheap but still we had a price rise this year due to a new environmental charge being imposed. Electricity prices on the other Oi Vey!

Peak District here. Came home and it was 10! So I banged the fire on and now it's 18.

other hand, that should have said.

In London. It went down to 14 in the kitchen today (coldest room in the house). Heating went on until it got up to 19 - took about 4 hours, large rooms, high ceilings house. Turned it off at about 7pm that will have to do until bed time.

Going to bed in a cold house isn't too terrible (take a hot water bottle up, wrap your pyjamas round it while you do your bedtime routine and undress), but morning showering and dressing in a cold house is awful, working in a cold house becomes miserable.

Sitting on the sofa and watching TV in a cold house is OK because you can wrap up warm.

21 going by my thermostat. 1 bed flat in a 1850's terrace, northern England.

12 degrees on the basic thermometer I ordered from Amazon last week 😆 haven't had the heating on today though as down to the last £5 on the meter! Hopefully the £66 voucher arrives in next few days lol

Kept at a steady 10 degrees for past week
Sometimes boosting to 12
Bedroom at 8

Even the supermarket potted herbs in the kitchen aren’t surviving though 😀
Central/South West border

(In my defence I’m running hot from visiting the gym/sauna, feeling menopausal and hot, plenty of heated throw/underfloor and other heating options avail when needed)

@OldTinHat 11.5!

We just got a bill for £300, double our usual amount. We’ve put the heating on to watch TV but I think we’ll just watch TV in bed from now on.

Our heating bill's looking at around £500 this month. We were overpaying during summer, so might as well enjoy it now.

21 degrees, Edwardian End terrace, 4 bed, London. Home Office (shed in garden) was a toasty 24 degrees all day today.

The difference in insulation between the old house and new shed is incredible. Maybe those Insulate Britain protesters were onto something.

18 degrees at the moment and it’s fucking glorious.

It’s usually 14, apart from the one room that we have an electric heater plugged in on and off. The kitchen is even more bitter as the radiator is off the wall and the back door is rottting, it was 12 last night and I couldn’t bring myself to go in there to wash up.

We are doing an experiment today to see if it’s more or less money to keep the thermostat at 18 all day.

Probably won’t be, but I’ve loved today not sat freezing my area off.

Oh and we are a 1930s 4 bed semi with no insulation and double glazing from the 80s that does fuck all.

1960’s detached house in the NW. it was 13 degrees this afternoon so put the heating on. It’s now 19 degrees.

18 in the living room but my office box room is usually around 15.5 & my heated blanket does the work.

1930s semi that holds the heat well vs the 1920s cottage I had earlier in the year. I’m very grateful for that.
