Central Heating - on yet?

[lazybloke]

Another one in T-short & shorts this morning; my lounge is 22 degrees.
Will hope to leave the CH off for a couple more months, unless we have a cold snap.

But not yet; I didn't even need a duvet last night.

High or low temperatures don't really bother me. Windy nights, outside, the windows stay open all year round. So the heating doesn't go on.

Im more sensitive to high temps at night but otherwise, for us it's always been bedroom windows open at night 90% of the year, all except the coldest of weather.

Starting to feel the drop in temps in the evening outside, but no, no heating yet. Inevitably having two young children in the house now will mean the heating on more that it used to be for some time...much to my (light hearted) disgust

Have them playing Twister on a nightly basis. It'll warm them up, a bit.

8 celsiuses here. Sat eating brekky with the French doors open.

Last night one of my neighbours had their wood burner going. I mean, WTAF? I was walking the dog in short short-sleeves.

Why was your dog in short short-sleeves. You can buy the whole shirt for him now you know.

I wonder how many you hardy folk live North of Watford.😉

One here.
North of the M62 by seven miles in a straight line.

I've just used my electric fire for the first time since the summer. The smell of accumulated dust burning off the elements always reminds me of autumn.

Radiators being bled today ready for when the controller thinks it’s time.

Just did mine and then fired up the CH for an hour to make sure all was well. Had to turn the stat up to 23 degrees to get it to fire up. The new system has a weather sensor on the north facing wall.

Ross Kemp says that anyone using central heating in Autumn is a ponce.


... Sorry, wrong thread...

When I was cycling ~6000 miles a year, and walking another 1000, I could sit in the lounge at 17C wearing shorts & T-shirt. Now, the room is 21.7C and I'm wearing long trousers and a jumper.

The difference is about 900kcals/day on my metabolic rate.

Turned system on to test the radiators.
One stuck valve freed with pliers and GT85.
Turned system off.
