What temp do you keep you house between

[Lm1981]

We have heating kick in usually around 17.5 degrees and let it get to around 20.5 - those few degrees seem to make a big difference to comfort. Just interested what others keep their heating at?

18-19 in the evenings, off overnight.

If I work from home during the day, I leave the heating off, wear an extra sweater and wrap myself in a wool blanket. Very snuggly. 🤗

Same here that cost £5 a day.

Wow 22 is insanely high. There definitely shoudl have been a cap on what support people got last winter if they were heating it that hot.

21-23 during the day (unless it's freezing outside and I might sneak it higher!) and just off overnight. It doesn't really drop below 19 overnight.

I agree that 22 is bloody high. Really, really warm and such a waste of energy. 19 is my max, generally house is around 17.-18. 55% humidity. I wear a jumper and slippers. All fine and cosy.

15 in the house when in during day time, 14 at night. When out it's on 12.

22 is not insanely high. The recommended room temperature is between 18-21, although if you want to have it colder obviously it’s up to you.

Mine is set at 19 during the day, 21 in the evenings and 15 overnight.

22!!!! I’m so shocked, I’ve never put thermostat above 17. Always felt fine. No wonder everyone’s bills are so high. It’s really unhealthy to be in such a heated environment

We do these threads every month or so and every time, I think - just because your thermostat is set at a particular number, that doesn’t mean that all, or indeed any, parts of your home will actually be that temperature.

My advice is stop getting hung up on the number. Turn it up if you’re cold and down if you’re hot.

About 22 from 7 - 9 and it's off overnight don't know how cold it gets cos it's on when in get up

18-20

22 is nice for me

I think it feels different daily sometimes too as well as in different homes
Sometimes it says 15c and I'm fine, other times it's 17c and I'm cold even wearing the same clothes

Between 18.5-20.

Average of about 18/19 during the day depending on what I'm doing but do allow it to drop to 17.5 which is also the temp we have it on at night.

I've got an oodie so if I'm home during the day I don't put the heating on unless it gets below 16 degrees. 20 is our maximum temperature.

16 degrees between 5pm- 9pm, 9 at all other times. Not by choice, bloody freezing!

Main room thermostat is set to about 18 - have thermostatic controls on radiators in other rooms so they vary. No heating on at night as there isn’t a big drop overnight - had new roofing in the summer and it’s a small, solid Victorian terrace so reduced heat loss. Neither of us like a warm bedroom and my husband acts like a reversed night storage heater and kicks out a lot of heat in bed.

Thermostat set to 12.. Heating comes on for an hour in morning and evening 6 days a week. One day a week I put it on higher for 2-4 hours to help dry laundry

22 would cost me about £12 a day.

No idea!

It's an old house and doesn't have a thermostat so I can't set the heating to come on at a particular temperature. The heating is either on or off.

We haven't had the heating on yet this year but I'm in the South East of England so it hasn't been too cold yet.

My dgm occasionally has it at 22 if she is feeling cold with it at 21, she is almost 90. Some people with disabilities might need it that warm too.

I think they could have allocated assistance better though, had a cap up to a threshold only, then greater cash handouts for those entitled to disability benefits and the elderly who may have greater energy needs.

New south facing house so amazing insulation and heat retention.

Heating is set to come on below 18. Virtually never does. Even in the depths of winter I don't think I've ever seen it go under 16 in this house.

My dads apartment is like that
He came over to mine and was "oh it's CHILLY in here isn't it"
Yes dad, you get a whacking great fuel allowance you don't need and I can't afford to heat it any higher but come summer when your place is melting, I'll be lovely and cold

(He does give me some of his winter fuel allowance as he gets more in pensions than I earn)

Also 17.5-20.5/21
