heat helps a little with reducing condensation but only slightly. airflow is what you need , and the dryer the air the better.

if its any consolation, we put the heating on for winter 2012/13 in mid Jan 13 and it was off by mid March 13. we aim for similar this year

whats cheaper...on 24/7 low or once eve and once morning?

 

[Mattonsea]

lit the fire last night for the first time, and enough wood already chopped for the winter, already hunkering down..

Gas repair guy told me cheaper on a constant rather than turning on and off. Make no mistake though, it's bloody expensive either way !!!!!

Heating on at night the last 2 days, too warm for me but 2 young kids

We have been paying silly monthly bills all summer, so we are miles in front before the winter arrives , at last count we were over £300 in credit, so for once in my life when the wife says "turn the heating on" I will not need to go into my Basil Fawlty impression , stomping round the room like a demented mad man.

Me too, has to go below 12c for a period before I consider it's time to put the T-shirts & shorts away.

You mean people turn off their heating?

Our Aga stays on for 10 months a year and goes off for two months when the sun streaming in the bifold windows heats the kitchen to a tropical 32 degrees C, when even Mrs Gti admits she's warm. The multifuel stove has been lit several evenings since June and last night we burned the first log from a birch I cut up last February - it burned well and cleanly. Meanwhile the heating is switched on and will run if the temperature in the hall drops to 19 degrees.
