Central Heating - on yet?

[Supersuperleeds]

No, but I did say to our lass earlier it will soon be jumper weather.

House currently running at 21C downstairs and 19C upstairs. No heating at all yet, but I've started shutting the landing window for the night. It's been open all summer, but now the nights are getting cooler, it's just too chilly to have it open.

I've also switched from leggings and a light fleece to wearing a onesie in the evening.

Will probably be at least another month before I think about the storage heaters. No need for the fire and back boiler yet.

P.S. @fossyant - car A/C set at 22C for me...

That’s the spirit ! It’s not like we want to be paying for new bike parts AND have the heating on……😉

Do people live north of Watford? I thought it was just polar bears up there.

Fascinating reading about these magic self heating homes and jumpers that warm your cockles.
I spent my working days above 1000ft on Scottish hillsides. Not a weekend walk but daily arching my back against the cold. Evening by the fire and I just about thawed out by bet time.
In retirement I want to be warm. Had the heating on since 18th August holding a night time temp of 17C and a daytime of >20C
This little extravagance has cost me a tad over 2Kw / day heating an entire 4 bedroom house.
Entering my 15th year of heating with an ASHP ( AC Split) They don’t work you know 😉.

I covered myself up with a blanket last night in the lounge but I was soon too hot. A few windows are still left open. Not cold enough for my partner to have the heating on yet.

What insulation to do have? Mines a stone semi with a dirty cavity. Would need the cavity filling with beads I expect??

I built this house in the 90’s insulated to the standards required then.

Just home from 8 days hospital stay and the house is way too cold at 15C.

CH is on plus we now have the open coal/log fire blazing away.

Neither of us can stand being cold.

Hope you’re on the mend primarily 😉

My heating's controlled by the thermostat, not the timer, and that started turning on two or three days ago.
