What do people consider a comfortable heating temperature ?

[Boutonnière]

I'm not asking about the coldest you can bear, or looking for tips for dressing . I mean walking around in reasonable non summer indoor clothing and then being sedentary watching TV/reading etc. House is small, well insulated, double glazed etc, low bills to date, London.

We have just replaced our creaky old boiler with a silent new one plus (overly complicated ) multi setting thermosat/timer . We are experimenting atm with different combinations of day settings (dislike heating when sleeping). It isn't particularly easy to justad hoc bump up the heating by a bit, unlike our previous rotary dial one.

I had realised our last thermostat calibration was way off when 18C felt toasty and almost too hot. Looking at maintaining 21C/ 22 C on this new system currently. Is that a common preference ?

Night is 10pm - 6am then heating kicks on at 19

Tbf we have a fairly new boiler and thermostat and decent radiators so everything heats up fairly quickly
I don’t want my home to get mouldy or rotten so I’d never let it go below 18

18

During the day that is

Nest not Next!

Based on what the gas engineer who installed my new boiler and the Nest thermostat three years' ago recommended and my experience since then:

Depending on where you live and the outside temperatures, type of house etc., I'm in London in a 2-bed flat.

I've programmed it so it's 21 during the day, and 16 at night, but in three years the heating has never come on at night, so basically 16 means the heating heating is OFF.

18 degrees, any higher and I feel headachey. Am late 40s if that matters. I hate walking into overwarm indoor places during the winter - I find I overheat more in winter than I do in summer, due to the heating being on too high.

Mine is currently 16 degrees. But I'm sat on sofa with a hwb on my back

20 is perfect

Back when I had central heating, 20.

No heating during the day currently, or overnight i just put it up to 24 about 6am while my daughter gets up and dressed , leave it on for an hour then turn it off and thats it for the day
In the colder months usually dec-feb its left on 20

17-18. We wear wool jumpers in winter. Heating off at night. 22 feels like my elderly parents' house.

That would be me then 😀
16-18 and off most of the time.
