Is your home warm/hot enough

[Mancity08]

So you have your heating on
do you feel warm enough ?

ours is on 22* and I’m cold 🥶
I have socks, pj bottoms and thermal top on

Nope! We live in a 1940s rental house with mainly tiled flooring and terribly leaky single glazed windows. I forgot how cold it got..! Heating firmly on

House sitting at 17 today, haven’t put the heating on yet

🥶 it's gone quite chilly now our house is 20 degrees but I'm wrapped up and I've had thc heating on for an hour

Our house average is 13 degrees 😅I live with my parents and they hate to turn the heating on. We have a fire in the living room and that's that.

Not a poor family by any means, they just hate it. My dad is totally against central heating

Ours is at 18.5 and perfectly warm. Not had the heating on yet and got a delivery of logs coming tomorrow so we’ll be sorted for a while. Downstairs is warmer than upstairs.

Just to add context of how against it he is - after the first frost we will have it on for half an hour in the morning (my mum times it for when I get up to leave for work 🤣) and half an hour in the evening to prevent a burst pipe. Last time I remember it being on during the day was during the beast from the east, and that was because I was home from uni with the flu.

Thermostat showing at 19 degrees in the unheated rooms but feels a lot cooler!

I put ours on for an hour there to bring it up to 18! Freezing, going to bed with a jumper on

18° here with no heating on and I’m not cold at all.

Haven't had the heating on in nearly 3 years. We live in an apartment. 1st floor so sandwiched between 2nd and ground floor. It heats up like a greenhouse during the summer and holds the heat well !

To add to that, our bedroom balcony door is open 24/7 even in - temperatures.. so maybe I am just weird

Was 14°C so the heating went on today, set at 18°C. I'm still cold. Chronic condition so might need to put it up a degree or suffer.

It's about 20 degrees in our house. Husband is feeling chilly and has woolly stuff on, I'm boiling and have a fan on.

Our annual winter dance.

Why would he be against heating?!

I've got the fan on too!

Sat in bed with window open, it’s nice and crisp. Frost this morning, and lots of stars tonight so will no doubt be cold overnight…Highlands…I had the stove lit for a couple of hours whilst children had baths/went to bed but let it go out quickly. I never put the central heating on. We do have 16.5togs quilts though, two on each bed once it gets very cold.

We’ve only had the heating on once so far and that was last week sometime , we are SE , very warm 4 bed detached have still had fans on most days / nights .

Just above 16 in our house, but we live a long way up north so feels warmer. Fire lit to keep it cosy. Soup for lunch tomorrow after 4 cancelled freight sailings. I'd been hoping to do salads till the end of the week

It's warm in the SW, sitting room is currently 24° can't see the heating going on soon. I think next door like to heat their house like a sauna though 😂

Everyone else thinks it's hot enough. I am in bed with my pj's and dressing gown on shivering....I think maybe I am coming down with something.

Ooh, the first competitive no heating thread of the season.

Reached 10 degrees here and pissed down all day. The heat was stifling so I sat in the freezer.

So far, the heating has been on for about an hour, mainly because I got soaked and was cold, and because I wanted to test it before winter. It's 19.5 degrees inside with no heating, and was 18 degrees when I boosted a day or so ago. Hopefully we are still at least a month away from it going on properly, or lighting the fire.

It's still fine here, late 1990s built semi. Haven't needed the heating on at all yet this year, and don't expect to for a while yet.

The house is well insulated and we're not overly fond of too hot temperatures. It'll be using blankets on the sofa first, before heating and we aren't there yet either. Heating will probably come on at 16/17degs, so it's not like we particularly scrimp either.

My parents live in a house built pre1700 in the north of England and they haven't even had their heating on yet!
