have your turned your heating off?

[NoahVale]

still quite chilly in the evenings.
have turned it off today - will i regret it,
ne'er cast a clout til May is out

Yes because it's bloody humid and wet. Depends where you are.

Yes weeks ago!

I haven’t had the heating on for about a month now, but I was lighting the wood burner in the living room until Thursday night, and decided to stop that as of last night

Mine went off 1st March. Can't afford it anymore.

I've lit the log burner tonight 🙂

Mines on a thermostat so I don't think about it

So have I 😊
My heating is programmed to kick in if the temperature drops below 18° by day, 6° at night. I have turned the bedroom radiators off so it’s just the living room one and the heated towel rail in the bathroom.

Been off for ages
(admittedly we live in a small, modern flat so not that cold)

I've turned the thermostat down from 20 to 18, we're in Scotland though and there's been a couple of mornings over the last week or so that it's clicked on first thing. I usually give it a wee boost too if it's feeling chilly but I'd imagine over the next couple of weeks it won't be on at all as it's to start getting warmer.

Well, after thinking it wouldn't be on tonight it is, it's still not very warm even though it was sunny but it's only beginning of May so I suppose to be expected

Like PPs, we have it on a thermostat

which means the hand towel has been a bit damp the last couple of days ;-)

Ours is off but I'm sat under a heated blanket.

Our heating is on 'auto' so it kicks in if the temperature drops.

Yes, a few weeks ago. Fortunately we’re in a new build with super good insulation. I’m an iceberg whereas DH is a furnace and dog doesn’t like heat. So I always wrap up and use a blanket if I need it.

DH turned ours off yesterday, when I realised I pointed out (a) I wouldn't go crazy after one good day of weather despite it being May and (b) you don't fucking decide it yourself without discussion ... it's back on ...:

Turned ours off yesterday

It's on thermastat so varies

Was chilly this am so nudged it

But didn't have it on last few days

We turned off the timer about a month ago, but have turned it of manually for a couple of hour 3/4 times since, if it's been especially cold.

Yes, at the beginning of March. I can't afford not to.

Mine is still on. However not today. Thermostat set to 20 so if it’s gets to that will kick in.

Thermostat so never gets turned off

No. I live in Scotland. I suspect it will be another month or so before it’s off off. It’s not been on as much in the last few months but it is still needed first thing and into the evening.

NoahVale, surely what is bizarre,is clicking on to a thread you have no interest in! My neighbours have their heating on at 23c in a south facing living room,t shirts all year. I go round in a jumper,makes me feel like I'm going to pass out!! They aren't old,no health issues.

exactly, thank you.
i ended up of course putting mine on last night, i have a timer and forgot to turn it off, so it came on as usual this morning!

Yes mines off until October at the earliest!

I live in the south west and have a well insulated house so it's fine, if we get chilly in the evening we put the heated blanket on.
