To wonder who’s pit their heating on

[Angelina82]

and what you’re thermostat is set at?

We have put ours in a couple of times overs the last 2 days, only to 17.5 though and only because DH was complaining he was freezing.

DH and I will never agree though, I want the windows permanently open and him to out a fleece on (as that’s free) and I need the air, he puts a blanket over his side of the bed on top of his duvet 🤷‍♀️😂

i did last night, after dd complained

I have storage heaters and they’re too hot now. But can’t turn off! Have windows open now. 🤦‍♀️

Haha I can remember having storage heaters many years ago. Fucking nightmare!

Had my windows open while doing the housework yesterday morning but once I sat down the windows were closed and heating went on. Have it around 20C when we’re home but turn it down to 15C at night and when we’re out once it is cold, that way house is kept reasonably warm and doesn’t have to be heated from freezing when we get home. I don’t like it hot over night.

18 if DH puts it on. 17 for me.

Are you kidding? It was wall to wall warm sunshine here yesterday ( Cornwall). I got mildly sunburnt!

Show off!

In the East it’s been windy and rainy for last few days and was 8C yesterday when I looked.

Not yet

Ours just comes on if it drops below 20.
We spent yesterday at the inlaws and theirs is off. I'm not the type to be melodramatic but I nearly froze to death. To death.

Set at 19 so it kicks in by itself. Dp doesn't turn it off (he pays the bill so who am I to complain )

It’s 2 degrees outside and I live in a single glazed Victorian house, what do you think 😂

We recently had hive installed so enjoying playing with the different settings.

18, any higher and I sweat in places I didn’t know I could sweat

Yes we have, but not during the middle of the day. We’ve had it on in the evenings and early morning. Thermostat is set to 18 so it only comes on if temperature is lower than that. I do click it up to 20 though if it’s chilly.

Yep. But only in the evenings as the days have been lovely & I've had the windows & doors open. I could have put on Warner socks & jumper, but I wanted the house to feel cosy. I had enough winters here before the central heating was put in, not to feel the need to challenge myself to see how long I can go without putting it on!

What temperature others have theirs on is completely irrelevant as it depends on the layout of the house & where the thermostat is etc. I moved the thermostat out of the lounge (it's free standing) and put it in the bedroom as I find it keeps the house a more constant temperature. When it's in the lounge it's up & down.

It's off overnight & windows are open. I get headaches otherwise.

When winter kicks in then I set it on a timer & it rarely needs adjusting, but it's off in the summer because then it can't pick up that there's a cool breeze & thus it needs to turn itself on. And this time of year I like to have doors/windows open during the day when I'm busy & I don't want the heating coming on

So the 'mine is set to x and it's 'on' all the time. I don't see why everyone doesn't do what I do' smugness is 🙄.

Not until October 1st ( I'm mean !)

I am looking out of my bedroom window, everything outside is covered by a thick layer of frost.

SE England on the coast, haven't needed heating on yet.

It's been t-shirt weather until 3 days ago.

We have a really ancient heating system that makes turning the heating on/off in each room a real pain in the arse. And they take ages to heat up.
So when we turn on the heating it stays on until early spring.
Trying to stretch it out until November but dh is already moaning he's cold.

I'm not the type to be melodramatic but I nearly froze to death. To death.

Noo you don’t sound the least bit melodramatic @Oysterbabe. Not at all.......🤥😂

Not yet as we are struggling for money as it is. Neither of us had work since lockdown & no money from the government (I'm zero hours & DH is in TV & didn't qualify for self-employed help) Am dreading when it gets really cold.

Have put the electric blanket on our bed (in loft room so coldest in house) & dug out big coats, dressing gowns & jumpers all round. Also gone mad on making soup - loads of tomatoes ripening in the garden so tomato soup today. Plus Dcat makes a lovely lap warmer & we have loads of blankets on the sofa to snuggle under.

Mine is always set to 20 in the day time and 14 at night.

People who think 16 is cold in November but okay in September are weird.

it does seem early to put it on, i just realised it had come on again this morning after i put it on last night

I totally agree with you @BestOption. I mean to me everything you said is just common sense. It’s not hard (and much better for the environment and the purse strings) to turn the heating off completely in the summer and then just whack it on on the odd day you feel like you need it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It doesn't matter what month it is. You can use the hearing when you want to 😊
