AIBU to keep turning the heating down?

[Bloodyheating]

I live in a shared student house. Heating is not working in one of my hosuemates room despite LL coming round to check and he said everything was fine. The room is cold. Radiator in said room is not as warm as it was before Christmas.

To 'solve' this issue said housemate keeps wacking the bloody heating up to THIRTY because apparently this is the only way the room heats. The numbers on the combi boilet read 80. My Dad's a plumber and said the boilet should be on around 60 and the dial on the wall for the heating should be around 20. Today housemate with cold room posted a ranty message in group chat saying to stop whoever it was (ie me but they dont know that).

I have a cold interolence and sensory processing issues but even for me its like a bloody sauna and I think the heat is giving me migraines - radiators are either on/off no in between :/

I grew up on economy 7 and lived mostly without heating for several years (before my dad got his plumbing qualification).

AIBU to keep turning the heating down to 20 degrees? They refuse to get a heated blanket (we are allowed those) although they do use a hot water bottle.

30 is absolutely ridiculous!

LL needs to be back. Has she contacted them again? I’d have a thermometer and keep a record of the actual temperature in her room.

She could have an electric heater in the mean time?
Swap rooms?
Stay in the living room most of the time?

Stay in the living room most of the time?

Who wants to do that in a shared house though? The one I lived in didn't even have one.

LL needs to sort this out and get an electric heater in. Not her fault radiators are faulty.

I did say in the mean time @grapewine.

I fully agree with you that the LL needs to sort it out!!

I was in a shared-house room that was registering 12 degrees once.

Boyfriend came to stay, felt the radiator, said "it needs bleeding" and fixed it in thirty seconds.

I'd spent years watching my dad bleed radiators, too...

12/13 degrees is pretty common in my house 🙁 single glazed and high ceilings.

They should get a heater. I have an electric oil filled radiator which is great and nicely heats up whichever room I put it in. There’s no need for the entire house to be a sauna so one cold room gets heated to an appropriate temperature.
