To put the heating on?

[QuestionableMouse]

Currently 6° in my house. Rain is coming down in buckets. I'm seriously thinking about sticking the heating on for a bit but it feels slightly ridiculous given that it's June and supposedly summer!

Have had ours on for an hour - for the cats ..!

I dislike central heating. It makes the dog's shed more and I hate the stuffiness it creates. I prefer a ventilated house and wearing more clothes.

Open the window, let the warmer air circulate. I'm NW and it's 15°c outside.

I won’t do it!
I’m at home all day and I’m freezing but I won’t do it!
When my son naps I’m going to get into bed to warm up.
I refuse to put the heating on in June!

Mine is on. It comes on when it's cold. I don't care if it's July or December, if it's warm it stays off, if it's cold then it's on

I’m in North Wales, fire is lit here!!

I'm in Oxfordshire and just put the heating on.

Its sometimes warmer outside than in my house.300 yr old cottage so nothing much i can do about that.

Id rather light the fire than use gas. I work in the kitchen with a jumper on.

Heating has been on constant in the day time here for three days and I am still sitting here with a hot water bottle in my lap. Before Tuesday, no heating on for a month. It is definitely autumnal here.

Mine is on. I’m WFH with COVID and sitting in front of a laptop means I need it warmer than if I’m moving about. It’s currently 13 degrees and pouring with rain outside.

Sorry, I should have said - WFH because of COVID - I’m not sick.

@InspectorCludo See, I don't get this. You'd rather get into bed than put the heating on? Why be a martyr?

@Jennyie1 I'd be flooded out if I did that. It's absolutely hammering down. I've just had to nip out in the car to pick my prescription up and it was 10° according to the car.

Heating is on now and I've reset the thermometer which is now reading 14° rather than six so I think it might be a bit dodgy 😂😂😂

How is it 6 degrees ? honestly even in winter with no heat on my house doesn't drop below 13 degrees .
Ive put my heating on for a bit and it's 19 degrees in my house just put it in to 20 to warm the house up for a hour .

This day last year I was in Saltburn, in a beach hut I'd booked, feeling like I was slowly freezing. Was foggy and so cold.

The fish and chips were fantastic though 😂😂😂

Just put ours on. 2 pairs of socks, leggings and a vest under my clothes and still freezing.

@imsooverthisdrama tbh I think the room thermometer was either in a draft or is just a bit crap. It came up to 14 after being reset which is probably more accurate!

Thermostat in our hall is reading 20 degrees.I'm sitting here in a t shirt and jeans.Outside looks sunny and breezy.
I'm in Scotland and haven't had heating on for a couple of months.
Think our house is well insulated.

Well 14 degrees is better than 6

Just put ours on ... cold and wet here too (Midlands UK).

I never even think about the heating.

We have it set to be on from (erm - 6ish?) a bit before we get up until 10pm, with the thermostat set at 19 (used to be 17 but we suffered terribly with damp).

Well we are on the South Coast and its freezing cold and wet. WTAF Heating on girl pronto!

I am in the SE so it’s not that cold but my house has zero insulation and I am wfh, just sitting at my desk, so have actually put the heating on. Only a week ago I was sitting in shorts and a vest top !

Don’t understand people who’d rather freeze than turn the heating on because it’s the wrong month

My house is 17 degrees and iv popped the heating on. Do you live in an old /draughty house? Any way you could insulate, put draught excludes in? Carpets?
