What's is yours set at?

Mines set on constant at 13* I turn it up to 15* when I get up and then up to 18* at about 5pm till 8 takes ages to cool down. My house is warm and so am I.

We’re south facing so temperatures can’t be set other than on a daily basis depending on sunshine (or not).

We’re pretty well insulated as well, so go on a day-to-day basis and won’t set heating to come on til around 8am for an hour and then off until the end of the day depending on our whereabouts, with us both being retired.

We’ve replaced the gas fire in the sitting room for an electric fire which is switched on during the day as and when we need it - at the moment, rarely more than 15 minutes in any afternoon.

I’m not sure. I’d better check with the staff.

20 degrees on at 6.30 am off at 10.30 am. On again at 4 pm and off ar 10.30 pm

It’s 21.5 in our kitchen right now. Warmer in the sitting room as I’ve made a splendid fire.

Constant 20

Oh I do love a fire.

15dag. Starts at 0530 because I sleep badly and riseearly, off at 2200. It is rarely on in the day although it is possible...

Set at 22 degrees and is on 24/7 , the bedroom radiators have thermostats on so they don't get as hot as downstairs.

17 in the daytime and 14 at night is just right for me. In the past, others have found it chilly here!

On at 5:30am and off at 11pm set at 20 degrees.
When it was very cold last week we had it on 24/7 but turned it down to 16 degrees overnight.
My own bedroom is regulated to be cooler by the thermostat but all others are set to maximum.
I grew up with one coal fire to heat a whole house and shivered in bed with ice forming on the inside of windows throughout the winter.
I so appreciate the fact that I don’t have to now.

Same here annsixty and weren't there pretty icy fern patterns on windows!

Same here, I loved those patterns - but not the freezing bedroom lino! Still, now I find most houses too warm and stuffy.

18.5c; 6.00 - 9.30am; 4.00 - 10.30pm. In cold weather like the present will put it back on when the temperature inside falls below 17c.

DH is just out of hospital and still very weak so currently it is on all day at 20.0c

Our house faces east and is quite cold. I have the thermostat set at 18° during the day. I turn it down to about 13° at night, we don't like warm bedrooms and cannot turn the radiators down.
We have a log burner in the living room when we need extra heat.

This house is old and draughty. There are thermal curtains everywhere - even one across the living room door - to compensate.

The rooms that I don't use (most of them) have the radiators turned down, but full heat is on in the living room and loo. The shower room has a heated floor - pure luxury, yet an essential for my next place.

There's an open fire, but I really do long for a log burner. It's just a different kind of heat (radiant, rather than convection) and cheering on a chilly day.

When I lived in the tropics the air conditioning was set to 21C.
Here in Scotland it is set to 21C.
It actually costs more to keep cool than it does to keep warm.

Set at 18, though I have radiators with thermostats. On 6.30am off at 8am then on at 4.30pm till 10pm. If I’ve been for a walk in the afternoon and it’s really cold, I’ll override it so it comes on earlier. Can’t cope with it on overnight, even though it’s a pain if I can’t sleep and get up to make a drink.

Ours comes on in the morning if the temperature is below 16° then I turn it up to 18 when up and about.
In the evening I turn it up again as our sitting room is cold without a fire.

We sleep with windows open and the heating off.

WOODMOUSE49 we have also been 14° in the mornings. Brrr.
Pleased to have central heating now to be honest but glad the radiators have thermostats as don't like being too hot.

usually dont have it on during the day except when my OH is home then its as high as it goes.I dont feel the cold but it wa minus 7 here this morning and the cats weren't happy so it went on around half six for them.Iturned it to 22 ,OH turned it right up when he passed it 20 minutes later and its been that all day.It is very cold tonight ,I've heard Loch Lomond is freezing and that doesn't happen often

I'm guessing, from reading all the previous posts, that my point of view is opposite to most. A few years ago I was present at a session designed for older people to keep well. I was given a card with a thermometer on entitled keep warm keep well. The recommendation is that homes should have central heating on at 21° day and night. This is to help in preventing strokes and heart attacks caused by getting too cold. 18° is below ideal and 16° is too cold and could be a danger to your health. With the extra pressure on the NHS currently I feel we have a higher responsibility to keep ourselves as well as possible. After all most of us will have benefited from the winter fuel allowance to help with costs.

Usually at fifteen or sixteen. This house is very well insulated. Having said that, it didn’t come on at all this morning. Cue panic. Had to turn it off at the mains switch and turn it back on again for it to fire.

18. I put extra clothes on, if I'm feeling cold.

That's interesting Gymstergran - I've just tried to find out the source of this info and can't so would you mind having a look please?

All the studies I can find ard also a few years old. I did find a research review though (a study of 20 papers) where the conclusion is:

Heating homes to at least 18°C (65F) in winter poses minimal risk to the health of a sedentary person, wearing suitable clothing.

Daytime recommendations
The 18°C (65F) threshold is particularly important for people over 65yrs or with pre-existing medical conditions. Having temperatures slightly above this threshold may be beneficial for health.
The 18°C (65F) threshold also applies to healthy people (1 – 64)*. If they are wearing appropriate clothing and are active, they may wish to heat their homes to slightly less than 18°C (65F)
Overnight recommendations
Maintaining the 18°C (65F) threshold overnight may be beneficial to protect the health of those over 65yrs or with pre-existing medical conditions. They should continue to use sufficient bedding, clothing and thermal blankets or heating aids as appropriate.

I have to admit 18° would be too warm for me in the winter overnight. I'd rather have decent bedding and a cooler room. I'd like to see the evidence before I have to sweat it out overnight!
