Time to turn the heating on?

For us it is time to turn it off. Today is the first day in ages we haven’t had to use it. A pleasant 23C today. Good Spring weather.

I gave in last night. A rug over my legs and feet didn’t help enough and I didn’t want to go to bed with cold feet. Additional bonus is that the towels were warm.

As in previous years my firm resolution is not to turn the heating on till October, but no doubt as usual I’ll be caving in well before then (possibly even today). Once it’s on it stays on during the day, controlled by the thermostat, clicking in whenever the temperature goes below 19 degrees. Off at night though, unless it drops below 12 degrees.

In the meantime I dug out my enormous black sherpa hoodie last night. It does keep me warm, and also lends me a distinct Traitors/Star Wars vibe that gives DH a good laugh.

Mine is on low I can turn the Immersion heater off and it’s nice wake up and it’s warm.

Tempting! At the moment just wearing thicker clothes. It only seems a couple of weeks ago we were basking in sunshine. The transition to Autumn feels very sudden this year.

I set my thermostats to come on, all 5 of them, modern digital and all reading different ambient temperatures. The lounge temperature is set a bit higher and the bedroom too, a bit prior to the time I would be showering, then it goes back to normal

I like a warmer lounge and it comes on during the early hours. I have UFH all downstairs and the floor is heat sink slab and takes ages to heat up. Quick acting radiators upstairs. The excellent insulation helps

heating has not kicked in yet, I don`t think. I am keeping the hall cool and bedroom overnight at 18

I was almost tempted to light the log stove yesterday but am glad I never did. My body needs to adapt to autumn/winter and it will.

The actual temperature is not the temperature that I actually feel, not on a grey rainy day. I have a vantage vu weather device that shows the actual lounge temperature and sometimes I feel cool when I should not be cool, so I throw a shawl around my shoulders

My heating is on permanently, kicks in when the temperature drops below 22.5 degrees. The thermostat is situated in the study which is the smallest room but I relocate it to the lounge in the winter.

I live way above sea level and it's always a few degrees colder up here than the town down below.
I tried to cope for a few days but I've had to put the heating on now. It's only 12 degrees in here without it.

I had my annual gas service and the very nice man asked me how I like my heating, I told him hot and on. He told me he’d set the automatic to come on at 18, I thanked him had no idea what he was on about but yesterday and today my heating has clicked on so my friend explained it to me and how I can turn it up if I want to. What a wonderful invention this little gadget on the wall is and why hasn’t anybody told me before. I am now warm and very happy.

Got mine on now, it’s raining and I feel the cold!!

Had mine on Wednesday as I got home soaking wet and cold. Had it on for 4 hours today as it was cold. If my limbs get cold it effects my neurological condition and heart problems.

No heating on yet but we've gone from just the duvet cover and a throw on the bed to a 4.5 tog duvet. I'm still floating around in my kaftan though, no dressing gown yet. We're in South Wales and feeling that the temperature has definitely dropped

No heating here yet and still have the bedroom windows opened a crack. We’re in a new build that’s really quite a warm house.

No central heating. We've had lovely fires, cosy.

Just turned mine on! 19° on my thermostat, and I’m feeling chilly, so I’ve succumbed. (In the South East).

Mine seems to have cracked independently. It switched itself on about 11.30 am. I’m not arguing with whatever kind house fairy or technology responsible. It’s lovely to be warm

No although I had a fire a couple of evenings last week but put that down to being post-Covid.

Put a jumper on!

No central heating yet but two duvets and a throw on the bed. The air temperature hasn't gone below 20°C in the house, but that doesn't seem to be the only thing that affects how cold I feel. When I start feeling cold in spite of several layers of clothes, I will put the heating on, set to keep the house at 20°.

I'm north west....log burner any time from October onwards....central heating from December to Feb ( log burner heats up kitchen and family room)

No central heating here either. No need for any heating either last night or this morning. Still have the 4.5 tog duvet but with a throw on top now.

I'm in the South West.

Had the heating on last night for a couple of hours. Fluffy housecoat is out again too. Really cosy but definitely not fashionable.

We just leave it on and set the thermostat and timer. This morning the radiators were warm when I got up for the first time in months

Ours came on at 6:30 for an hour, different from last September.

Nooo! It’s not cold yet I’m still using my Summer quilt with open window. When I’m cold I’ll put it on.

No heating yet, still no duvet on the bed and windows still open.

It’s will be our first Autumn/Winter in our new home, I am expecting a huge change having gone from a draughty old Victorian house to a sleek new one with a very high energy rating!
