What temperature do you leave your heating on at night? When it's below zero celcius outside?

[GoldAndSilverBells]

Just wondered, after a little debate beween me and a few other people yesterday.

Would you be so kind as to pick an option? (I will put what I leave it at a bit later.) Thank you.

21.5 or 22

Normally it’s off, I have an electric blanket and live alone, might change tonight and have it low instead. Unfortunately now get up in the night and it’s cold

...and it was minus 4 last night!

We have our thermostat set to 14-15 degrees overnight - very rarely comes on.

Off at night, it was minus 3C outside here last night but house was 14C when we got up, never have heating during the day set over 19C.

No way I could sleep at night with the heating on.

But it never gets anything like cold enough for that. Ours is on 20 degrees from 6am to 11pm, and just clicks on and off during the day as it needs. I'm awake a lot in the night and the temperature does drop a bit, but tbh I'd be very surprised if it got as low as 15. I suppose the house is reasonably well insulated. I was up at 5 this morning and it really wasn't cold.

I think ours is set to 14 but very unlikely to come on. It’s set to 18 from 5:30am ready for us getting up at 6:00 through the week, and from 7:00am on weekends.

Overnight?! Do you not have a duvet?!

Would your house pipes freeze overnight?

Our garage has the old kitchen fitted, sinks, taps, washing machine, no heating and no pipe has ever burst.

It's set to 14 overnight, but it doesn't ever actually come on at that temperature - it comes on in the morning when it's set to 19.

its actually off at night, but comes on at a set time in the morning.

I don't have central heating, so I might be confused. But what difference does the outside temperature matter? If you have a thermostat set to keep your house at 15c then it will be 15c regardless of if it is -5 or plus 10 outside surely? It will just have to switch on more often to maintain that?

I never have it on at night. I use a weighted blanket if it's particularly cold but often wake up too hot and have to kick it away.

It's off overnight but comes on a couple of hours before we get up. The temperature inside the house doesn't fall below freezing when the heating has been on all day. It probably dips to about 12C in our (very difficult to heat) house.
It might do if the house was empty but you'd have some heat on and off to keep frost free.

We don't have it on during the night at all. The house has enough insulation that it never drops that low overnight that there would be any problems.

Never have it on overnight. South coast.

Heating off overnight. Cones back on at 5.40, ready for my 6am alarm clock. That alarm clock, BTW, has a temperature reading on it. House rarely drops below 16C, having been between 18 and 19 during the day.

The only time we used energy to achieve a temperature in in 20s was cooling a house to 25C in a country where overnight temps dropped to mid 30s - and at that point, it ran 24/7

@whataboutnow🥶🥶!!

Abput 15/16, but the radiator is off in our bedroom as I prefer to be cool at night. I refuse to get up to a cold house though, so have it on elsewhere.

Never on at night. Warm duvets!

You could ask the gas engineer to show you when you next get it serviced.

We have Hive and love its flexibility.

Off, but we have frost protection which kicks in at, I think, 5 degrees, so our pipes are safe.

It was 11 degrees in those when we got up this morning, much, much colder than normal.

Can't vote as we turn it off at night

Thermostat is set to 12 degrees from 10pm to 7am. Very rare it’s ever below 15 when I come downstairs, but this morning, it was exactly 12 and felt absolutely freezing!

Min is on a thermostat. If we are in the house, it comes on when the temperature indoors drops below 13, and turns off when it gets to 20.
