Heating temp overnight

[prettyrainbows]

Mine is set that it comes on if it drops below 13.

What's yours set at?

16 over night. Youngest dd has athsma, worse at night and the cold kicks it off even worse. I need some sleep!

What is it with the heating polis always turning up on these threads?

We have ours around 13.5/14, it does come on overnight sometimes but we're in Scotland so it's quite chilly! DH is obsessive about the house not getting damp so prefer to keep thermostat on.

We have it on 11-12 C overnight. It very rarely comes on, although it might tonight as the windchill is set to be minus 9 C where I am..

The temperature in the house won't be minus 9 C obvs. But will very likely drop to 10-12 C in the small hours.

It's set to come on in our bedroom and the toddler's room if it drops below 16 at night but rest of the house if it drops below 14.

Wouldn't have it at 16 if we didn't have a baby in with us. Looking forward to when he's a toddler and can wrap up warm in a duvet. Our house is Georgian and always really cold. Been watching the LPG gas levels like a hawk 😄.

Had to keep turning the heating off with my phone app today as house has been dropping to 12 in the daytime and it's been constantly firing up the heating.

Off overnight here, as we don't have a particularly rubbish timer system and no thermostat, but it's never been below 12 degrees according to my alarm clock thermometer when I've woken up in the morning.

I prefer a cooler room with a heavy, extra large duvet, and blankets etc.

I've just looked, it's at 18
I have lots of layers and a thick duvet but we cosleep and the baby is breastfed several times during the night so I don't have the duvet over my shoulders and really feel the cold.

Off technically, it's set to frost protect which I think is 5c
It's never dropped below 15c ever (ground floor apartment built 16 years ago)

@808Kate1 what is it with people who don’t read threads properly who fail to see that I actually apologised I think 3 times quite quickly for the initial tone of that post?

Wow that is loads!

We paid £230 for one months gas during the freezing spell (Scotland day temps was -5c) and we live in an extended 4 bed!

I find the log burner keeps the bones of my house warm. Heating is on at 18 - 19 throughout the day when working from home or just in the morning & afternoon round school coming home time,with rads off in rooms we don’t use and set it to 14 it at night. I also air all rooms upstairs for 20 mins a day (windows wide open) to switch out the air and avoid condensation. My gas & electrics were £270 last month and wood another £200 but I’m not having the kids in a cold house.

15, we have a baby so the bedroom needs to be at a safe temperature for her, it rarely clicks on during the night, it did in the cold snap we had in december, but it hasn’t since.

We heat to 18 degrees during the day and have the heating off at night. (And sleep with the window cracked open a bit). We are perfectly warm under a 10 tog duvet with a heavy Indian woven cotton bedspread over the top. Mr Monkey is a human nuclear reactor though so that makes it warmer!

It was minus 4 outside last night and our thermostat was 15 degrees this morning before I put the heating on so we don't lose too much heat over night.

Disclosure we live in flat with double glazing and only one external wall per room.

That said I grew up in a drafty farmhouse with no central heating so I am pretty hardy.

Off completely overnight from 9pm till 6.30am. The house is set to maintain 18.5 or 19 in the day. The living room drops to about 16 overnight normally but in the cold snap drops to about 14. Our bedroom drops to about 16.5 normally and about 15 when v cold. The boys' rooms drop about the same, maybe a half degree more because there's only one of them in each room.

None of us mind getting up in a very slightly chilly room and we either get straight in to the shower or in to thick pjs, slipper socks and slippers, and dressing gowns. There are no respiratory issues, so 16 overnight isn't going to cause them when we're otherwise layered and toasty warm under duvets etc.

We were not mean with gas heating in December and still paid a shade under £200 for the month on a standard variable rate, in a compact, well insulated 4 bed house.

We have one of those hive thermostats so at night we set it to come on if it drops below 15. Our house is an old Victorian stone house which is inefficiently insulated and the radiators are crap too and needs the windows and external door replacing. If the temp gets below 15 then it's impossible to heat it up again. Only been in it a year so improving insulation is our aim for this year. Starting to regret buying it

Our heating thermostat is set to 10° from midnight to 6.40 a.m. then it's on at 17°. I don't think it's ever come on overnight. Our bedroom radiator is turned off completely during the night as I hate a hot bedroom. Window open no matter the temperature unless it's howling a gale with rain. We keep warm in long PJs , and we have a 15 tog duvet on top and old duvet plus mattress topper beneath. Oh, and a dog that likes to snuggle under the covers with us. We do have an electric underblanket in the cupboard, but it's rarely put to use.

If our bedroom got to 18° or above overnight, as it sometimes does in a particularly hot summer, I'm on top of the duvet in just a short nightie and pants (can't sleep naked, but that's another thread). Fan running if it's really warm. I hate being hot at night. I'm a '70s child, so like many here slept in an unheated bedroom from birth; plenty of blankets plus HWBs kept us warm at night.

Never had the heating on overnight. We might have the fire on in the evening if we’re home and it’s chilly.

Tbh we rarely have it on in the day either. If needed one of us would just pop it on as needed, not with a timer (our boiler is v old, and doesn’t have that function).

No overnight heating for us. House gets down to around 11 degrees in used rooms and much less in unused or unheated rooms (old rambling place)

@WaddleAway same except no PJs at all and for laundry reason she can't have a thick duvet. I just got a heated under blanket so we don't need the heating so much at night for her.

Off at night. It never gets cold enough under a duvet to need it on in our house.

15 at night but it rarely comes on.

I think it's 10 downstairs, but 19 upstairs - that's mainly as we have a toddler and her room can get very cold overnight, but our room (where the upstairs thermostat is) stays quite warm. Luckily we can afford it but it's very annoying!

Oh good idea, I’ll try that! Thank you

@WaddleAway you can kinda feel the wires so that might be a problem for some but hers is under a few layers of sheets (waterproofing!)

Only on at night if there is a risk of burst pipes.
