Heating

I'm a cool bedroom person as well.

We have argon gas in our large double glazed windows, you can stand next to them and feel no difference in temperature. It's probably not worth it for smaller windows. x

We've got stuff in the walls which helps a lot but I am not convinced this new window glass is any better than the old double glazing. And it never looks really clear.

Me too jings a cool bedroom and a warm bed

or perhaps snugglie. Or snuggle-y

I like a cold house at night. Makes the bed more snugly.

we too have thermostats on every radiator so like now, when DS is away at Uni, his radiator is turned off. We have a 7 day programmer so the heating comes on earlier Monday to Friday, a bit later at the weekends, and generally it comes on about 4 ish when I get home and goes off at about 10. As the house is extremely well insulated, it is till cosy when we go to bed. The bedroom heating comes on for an hour in the morning, at getting up time, and is then off all day until about 8pm, then it too goes off at 10. We dont have any cold spots in the house, leave doors open to circulate heat, and also have a gas fire ( 80% efficiency) to pop on if it gets nippy on a Sunday afternoon while reading the papers. Just changed fuel supplier so hoping for better bills.

Just out of interest does anyone keep their heating on 24/7 in the Winter months? I know some say its more economical to keep it on low so the house never has to heat from cold.. but I've always been of the mind that if something is 'on' all the time it can't possibly be better than having it off for all the night-time hours.. I expect others have other ideas though

This house has good insulation so not usually necessary to have it on any higher than 15.

I am away for 2 months and have left my heating on constant at a temp of 13*. I would rather do this than come home to burst pipes and tanks and heaven knows what else. DD will turn it to 1x daily at the end of the month. When I am at home it ticks away in the daytime at 18* and off at night.

Each radiator has an individual thermostat. The heating is on from 6.30 to 9, then again from 6 to 9 in the evening, between times and during the woodburner keeps the temperature up as we took all the doors out downstairs, bar two. There is a heat-activated fan on top of the woodburner that makes the hot air circulate around the house. It works very well. So it's usually 19C in the kitchen, but warmer in the sitting-room.

Well insulated house, two timers ( one for bedrooms one for living areas), Have it on about 17 when pottering but 21 when sitting down in the evening.

17 degrees and on a timer, but I do put it on during the day if not doing much as I hate being cold and extra layers don't always seem to be the answer.

Mine is not on at present but when I do switch it on it is around 18-19 degrees. My house is very well insulated which does help.

Last winter we started keeping it on 18 instead of 20 for reasons of economy and we have done the same this year. H does complain a bit but I just tell him to put another layer on. Because we are in all day the heating is on from 6.30 am until 10pm so never has the drop in temp.We are with BG so hope to see the bills go down slightly.

None on. Our multi fuel stove kept ticking over 24 hrs, heats the whole house so the thermostat goes off.

Also insulation is the key, keeps the heat in. x

During the moving about part of the day - 19. Afternoon sitting down - 20. Evenings it creeps up to 21, unless I light the fire.

Not on at the moment as its a bit warmer this morning but anything from 15 up to 19 if its really cold. I turn it down and OH turns it up usually he's a cold morsel..

..... And please excuse the grammar.
