To turn my heating up to 21 degrees?

[KindergartenKop]

How warm is your house? DH insists on it being 21 but I've set the heating to switch on at 18 and off at 19 degrees. Aibu?

I've got mine right up to 28 at the moment but I'm really chilly, usually 22-24 is warm enough for me

I'm with your DH. I like 21 or warmer. I cannot stand being cold at home nor do I want to wear layers and layers of clothes at home. It's my home, I want to feel comfortable. Turning the heating off at 19 degrees would piss me off no end.

We have it at 18. Having it at 21 makes the house unbearably hot, but we have a small house.

28??!!!! sweet fuckin Jesus, I'd boil. Do you not own a jumper?

18 is the absolute minimum Nhs advises. We have ours at 19 but on particular cold days I've been know to boost it to 21 degrees.

Whether yabu or not depends on whether he's walking round in tshirts saying he's cold or appropriately dressed and cold.

28?? Are you sure you're hooman? I get all red sweaty and huffing at 23

I don’t put the heating on during the day, as it’s just me at home. Heating goes on at 2.30pm before the kids get home up to 25-30°C, and stays on until 11pm.

There’s isn’t even a point of putting it on at 18°C! We want to feel warm!

17.5 and I'm hot, at 21 I'd be really struggling to cope. Parts of last summer where difficult for me

Ours is about 17 degrees when it’s on. Although DH does sneak it up to 18 or 19 sometimes

If it’s really cold we put ours up to 21 in the evening.

20C in our house. Never any higher. 17 would be too chilly for me, 28 is ridiculous.

Usually have it at 18.5, but just boosted it to 19 cause dc is poorly. It's on for 2 hours in the morning and 2hrs in the evening. Dont usually have it on in the day.

I always have mine at 35. I hardly switch it off. I hate the cold. Yes it's expensive but I work around it!

18.5 here, though we sometimes turn it up to 19. I don’t think we’ve ever put it above 20 - it’s just not comfortable. Luckily DH and I agree on this - I’d struggle to live with someone who wanted anything much above 20.

28? 35?? Fucking hell.

I have mine set at 20 but turn it off at 8 so it cools down for sleeping. Sometimes 20 is too hot if I'm doing stuff.

We don’t have a thermostat. Heating comes on for an hour in the morning and an hour before dinner . We light a fire every day and it heats downstairs and the water .
If the house is cold I just stick the heating on for another hour . We have oil central heating though and it’s ridiculously expensive . We have our own source of logs so it’s a much more cost efficient way of heating the house .

Mine is at 16. Too expensive to turn it up. Im freezing!

We have a very draughty Victorian terrace with sash windows. If the heating wasn’t on constantly it would be freezing in here! Thermostat usually set to 22 degrees but never manages to get that warm.

Mines on 18. Very occasionally I turn it up To 19 or 20.

Our thermostat is set to 18 but I turn it up to 19 if I feel cold. The thermostat is in the hall though, which is a bit draughty, so it probably gets a bit warmer than that in the other rooms of the house.

I don't think out thermostat even goes up to 35C.

That's quite literally the hottest day in the summer we ever get in the UK. No wonder we've got such an issue with greenhouse gases and climate change.

Put it on 20C when at home and 15C when out and overnight. That way it doesn’t take too long to heat up if it is cold but isn’t too high for cost when nobody is here.

18/19 for living spaces. Around about 15/16 for bedroom.

Mine is 18, last on/off is 6.30-7.30pm but I might move it back as I go to bed really early and often end up roasting.

Other people's houses are def warmer than mine. It's nice at first, but after a while I start feeling quite suffocated and want to open a window or go outside!

(Although contrarily I usually have my car heating up to max!)

Can't get over some people saying above 22 ish. Must be expensive and unhealthy. Do you boiling people sit about in bikinis in the winter? 19 is my normal, 21 is nice but feels wasteful.
