Heating - on/off

[Jimidh]

Yup but again it’s on one of those Hive systems so switches on automatically when temp drops.

The room 'stat in the hall has switched the heating on at odd times through the summer when it's been chilly and now it's on full whack AND the stove is lit so I'm sweating while Mrs Gti is curled up and complaining she's cold.

Similar here. MrsP would have the heating on 24/7. I am still wearing shorts and t shirts. I open the windows, and SWMBO closes them. I can't win, so I sit in the kitchen listening to the radio with the windows open, whilst MrsP is on the front room, door shut and the heating on.

I sit all the time at home with shorts and Mrs Slick is currently wrapped in a thick dressing gown whilst still fully dressed. I don't get it.

An extra pair of socks, keeping some of the extremities warm.

We have the gaz fire on in the lounge every night until it warms up then turn it off. No CH on yet as not cold enough to heat up the whole house yet.

That’s my house.
We had a new boiler and hive system fitted over the summer so this years thermostat wars have become cyber warfare undertaken via mobile phones.
my wife turned the thing up to 21.5 this evening! Anything over 20 is too hot for me.

Heating - is it November already?

Five days to go.

Normally nowhere near yet but this morning in particular it felt chilly, 16 degrees according to the stat so turned heating on for a while, especially as the grandkids are due for dinner.
It's far too early normally though.

16°F I take it. Good man.

We had coal fires every evening for a week when we were in Cornwall recently. We both like coal fires, even though they are an expensive luxury. We half expected Climate Extinction to show up but they didn't. Back at home, the gas central heating remains unused.

Central heating is on, but the woodburner will be lit tomorrow.
I know this for a fact as thats when it is being fitted

Wait til they tell you the fire cement takes 2-3 days to 'go off' before you can light it.

Ironically 15, sometimes as low as 13 seems to be my switch on point, just seemed to feel the cold yesterday. This morning its 15 In the house...and doesnt feel cold at all. Bedroom windows open all night, cant stand feeling too hot at night.

Intermittently.

I never switch mine off. It doesn't actually come on unless the temperature drop too slow and the thermostat turns it on.
