Is your home warmer upstairs or downstairs?

I’m sitting in my bedroom doing online Christmas shopping as it’s too cold downstairs but lovely and warm up here! I’ll stay up here for the evening I think. Dc in their bedrooms too. What’s it like in your house?

Downstairs warmer (19 degrees) upstairs we don't have the rads on very much as we don't spend much time there. It would be 16/17 downstairs without the heat on.

Downstairs, upstairs only bathrooms are fully heated. Frost settings only on other rads.

Upstairs is warmer. So we're watching TV up here with heated throws. It's very cosy

I've got all the heaters plugged in - am shit scared of the pipes freezing in the loft. Plus I hate being cold and the cats look wretched if the temp dips too low - they are spoilt snd expect cosy bedrooms!

Mine is 17.7 in the warmest room (upstairs) and 15.4 in the coldest (downstairs). It's been on since 5.30pm but still felt incredibly cold when we got home at 8pm. I think maybe it needs looking at 😩

Downstairs in the evening, upstairs in the morning. We don't really do turning down the radiators as we have suffered with damp in TBD past. If we have the living room door shut it gets nice and cosy, which we do every evening once the cats come down for supper. We keep it open overnight so the cats can roam, so by morning upstairs is warmest, as all the heat from the living room rises.

15.8 in the warmest room upstairs, 21.5 in the warmest room downstairs, where the log burner is

before I opened the doors to let the heat go upstairs it was 11.3 degrees in the warmest bedroom, despite the central heating on 24/7 and an oil filled radiator for 2 hours

Downstairs. Because the radiators upstairs really, REALLY need bleeding Grin
