How many hours a week is your heating on?

[ChoccieEgg49]

We are averaging 23-33 hours per week going by my app from Nov-Mar, which equates to approx 4 hours a day give or take.

Is this average? Excessive? I've no idea. Our bills are still ridiculous though. I try to use the log burner as often as possible.

Obviously everyone's situation/home size/insulation levels are different, I understand that, but it just got me wondering.

how many hours a week is your heating on for?

Around 50 hours per week. Although it’s getting milder now so may not have it on so much going forward

Does the app show the time the heating is actually running, or when it's timed to be on if necessary according to the temperature set?

Ours is now off at the timer and I put it on for an hour in the evening if I'm cold and an hour in the morning on days one of us is home. So 7 to 11 hours a week, but it's not actually running a full hour at a time as it switches off when it reaches temperature.

Hasn't been on since January. It just hasn't been nearly cold enough.

50 hours a week approx

None, it hasn't been on at all this year!

Ours is on around 40 hours a week. It will automatically reduce as temperature rises.

Ours has probably been on about 50hrs per week, too. We both WFH.

4hrs a day so 28hrs total.

Maybe 5 hours average a week since mid Feb.

I don't know when it's on or off, as the zones are set to a temperature depending on time of day / night and if it's colder than that, the heating comes on. The ground and middle floor are 17° in the morning (from 6.30), 18.5° from 12-8.30, then 15° the rest of the time. The top floor has the same timings but is 18°/17°/15°.

Our gas bill was just over £70 from 8 Feb to 7 March.

Sorry, I didn't notice it was Nov to Mar. Until this month the timer was on two and a half hours in the evening, and I put it on for an hour in the morning 4 days a week. So about 21 hours but only as required by the thermostat out of that time.

About 55 hrs a week but we set it to 17.5 degrees and only turn it up if we get a bit chilled. Possibly counter productive however as I then go and have a hot shower to warm up!

Our gas bill from Nov to Feb, added together total £200 if that helps.

Not at all for the last six weeks or so (well I’ve perhaps put it on once or twice for a short time, but that’s all).

Before that maybe an hour in the evening. Not at all on milder days. Or two or three hours a day on the coldest days.

If I win a million on the premium bonds I’m going to have my heating on for 50 hours a week like some people on here. But I just manage by having a heated throw wrapped around me or using a portable heater to warm up the room I’m in.

No idea, it’s programmed so that it will Click itself on and off in each room between 6:30am and 11pm if it drops below a certain temperature. I don’t know how many hours.
It definitely feels like it’s been a much milder winter this year overall but we do have a very well insulated house.

14h /week

Mine is on 24/7. Costs around £8 a day

No idea, but we rarely put it above 16 degrees. Do consider the health risks of a wood burner, and the impact on the environment

None. Didn't put it on the entire winter.

Not since January. But we’re in balmy London rather than Inverness and are pretty warm blooded. Excessive would be if you were heating the house whilst walking about in a tshirt. If you’re keeping comfortable then that’s the right level.

It's on from 7am till 10pm every day. With a one hour boost during the night.

It's 6C here so need the heating on.

20 currently though turns it's self off if warm which has happened the last two days

14 hours per week in south.

It's set at 18c. It's never off. Kicks in when it needs to and we leave it alone. Normally we wouldn't do this but have a baby under 1 atm.

It's on about 60 hours a week, but the thermostat is only set to 18. We live in the damp, chilly far NW of England.
