What's your thermostat set to?

[00100001]

Just curious to know what other people's ideal temperature is

18° morning and evening
16° during the day (we're all out but it stops it getting too cold for the evening)
13° overnight, only comes on in extreme cold weather

This is how we've always had it, haven't changed due to COL as we are still on an older fixed rate tariff.

18°C is the minimum recommended temperature to avoid lung issues. If you can afford it, please increase your temperatures.

18 from 7-8am 14 day time 20 from 7-9 pm

17.5 or 18, but only on for an hour from 6am and in the evening if needed. We have aloof fire in the lounge so tend to just use that and have the heated blanket on the bed ready for when we go up.

23, bedrooms are 21.

18 from 6.00- 9.00pm off the rest of the time

I know 18c is the ideal temperature, but 16c is the minimum (source: WHO). I would like to be warmer (about 21 ideally and 18 at night) but it's cost and I need to be careful. 14 was too low, 16 we seem to be okay at, but I'm also keeping track. If I need to increase it, I will.

Thanks for caring though. It's appreciated.

17/18 in the day, 15 at night.

17

How do you do that, though? How do you even know what the boiler temperature is?

You can Google your boiler type for instructions on setting the flow temp

Mine just needs a couple of buttons pressing.

17.5 during the day
18 in the evening
Off at night

I turn it up when I’m cold and down when I’m warm.

13 for both day and night. Most days when I come in from work at 3.30-4ish the temp is at 13.5-14 (thermostat is in the hall). Last year it was set to 16 but can't afford for the heating to keep kicking in when it's cold so had to reduce the temp. Last months bill (for gas and electric) was £500 (3 bed semi). Can't wait for spring 🥶.

0 at night and about 18 in the day . If we are at home we change it to how cold we feel!

🥵

Don't you melt at night time?

I'd need my 4 tog summer duvet at the most

As someone else has said, look at your boiler instructions. Assuming you've got a combi boiler, you can set it down from whatever is at now (60+) to something like 45c. If you have are of old cut off piping where water could "stand" rather than flowing, then you need to set it to a min if 55c to avoid legionnaire's. Usually that's not the case though.

Also, you can adjust your hot water temp (if your hot water is too hot in its own, then it's too hot) and on some boilers you can adjust it so it's not always ready with instant hot water (turn off pre-heat).

I'd need nothing!

World would be boring if we were all the same!

You can set the boiler temperature on standard boilers too. At least, all the ones I have seen/used.

I can't sleep without something over me, I stick my arms and legs out but still need the weight of the duvet. Though, 21 with heating is different to a summer's night with the windows wide open and a breeze, I think I'd struggle to sleep just because of the warm dry air.

I’m a bit baffled. I’m pretty sure there’s no way to know the temperature of the boiler. There are no numbers on display or buttons at all.

Mine has a dial with markings that seem to indicate low to high, but otherwise nothing but an 'e', which it is set to. I know I can turn it to high if I wanted to heat the house more quickly but it would be less efficient. Does yours have anything like that? Can you look up your manual online?

15 usually put heat in for a couple of hours every two days to take the chill off.

No, i love it all curled up under my thick winter blanket 😂

We do live in a country where houses have very good insulation and keep heat in very well. Once a temp is reached it takes very little energy to keep it at that level. When we had the heater installed we were told that we should keep the heater running, just a bit lower even when away on holidays. Apparently it takes more energy to heat the house up from being cold than it does to keep it at a steady temp. So when ist starts getting cooler we set the thermostat to 21 degrees and it just keeps it on that until spring.
When we lived abroad we couldnt do that though, because the houses lost heat so quickly it felt like we were just heating the outdoors.
