Anyone else put their heating on?

oh and another common fault that stops ch working, is the water pressure. Look at the dial, it should be around 1.2 when ch is off, it just needs a little tap turning on the raise pressure a bit. Another potential rip off, this was the first thing my decent kind plumber showed me

My new boiler in my new house will be 1 year old in january, it needs servicing in 12 months every year from new to keep in with the 8 year guarantee. I have always had my boilers serviced in late summer, heating engineers get rushed off their feet in mid winter. I have had it serviced 4 months early, a week ago, lately found out that a 2 way valve was a bit stuck after being static all summer, was shown how to sort that. So now I am fully ready for winter. I asked about the condensate pipe, mine runs inside so no chance of it freezing. Check where yours is, man told me about rip-off plumbers called out last year, charging £100 to just de-frost the condensate pipe. All it needs is a kettle of hot water

Now I am tweaking temperatures in various zones, these new houses have zones and many have underfloor heating. You have to get close up to the thermostats to be able to read them, I am setting them once and for all, doubt I will adjust them all year, nice and cosy for me and it kicked on downstairs today at 5am. Got to allow for the ufh to take quite a while to warm and then cool

Attempted to put heating on for the first time yesterday morning-boiler wasn’t in agreement! Not only no heat but the hot water failed too! Here I am today £170 worse off but at least I’m warm and clean I suppose.
Thinking now of boiler insurance as the boiler must be in advanced middle age ( much like yours truly) and is sure to expire in the next few years ( unlike yours truly I sincerely hope!).Any recommendations or suggestions?
Thanks

I'm happier when its cool during the day ,I get more done but this week the heating has been on after 7 ,mainly because GD2 has been here after school and she's always freezing or starving .

We don't have a central thermostat so the CH goes on when I'm cold and off when I'm not. . It was 3.5deg when I got in this evening so that's definitely CH time.

Down here in Exeter the wind has been cold but it's been on average about 16, so not too bad. No heating except if the temp drops and then it switches on.

No need for heating yet in our eco house. Have just swapped 2 tog duvet for 4 tog though.

There are only ever two or three weeks a year when we don't need any heating on at all. The difference in average temperatures between those in southern parts of the UK and those in northern parts is quite large.

Not to mention the damp.

Underfloor heating, and it's recommended that it's on 24/7. Living areas set at 22, but never drops below that from May - till round about now. It has come on a few times in the last couple of weeks, overnight, when the temp drops to it's lowest.The bedrooms are set at 18. If I was going around in bare feet, even in summer, I'd be running to the toilet frequently. I can only go bare footed in sandals in really warm weather.

We run ours throughout the year on low and yes it has come on several times recently. When the stair lift was fitted on a warm day in June the fitter had the front door open and the through draught to the back door must have made the thermostat in the hall think it was cold and the radiators came on. The poor fitter was perspiring from every pore.

Mine went on for first time Wednesday evening. Haven’t had it on in morning yet. Just evenings.

Nanny41 we have ours on at 12 if we're away, but then this house has solid walls and gets cold quickly. We leave it on 24 hours but it doesn't cost much on the bill.

Just now and again, but manually as opposed to timed.

15?????? Glad I don't live with you
Have the thermostat set at 15 & it turns itself on.

We have a house in Cumbria with the thermostat set at 10 during the winter when nobody is in the house, do you think that is enough or should it be on 15.Anyone know what is best please?

We live in Sweden and the thermostat comes on automatically, it has done this the past few days its not very warm in the house but takes the chill off until it gets really cold,which can be any time soon!

Cold in St.Andrews tonight , I put my heating on for a mean half hour . Big cardigan on and going to grab my bed socks now !

15c is definitely not warm enough. Mine is set at 22c during the day in winter, off at night.

GabriellaG54, trees are not necessarily being cut down for log burners. We have a garden with some old trees which had got too big for safety and had to be cut down, and they will keep us in logs for years, as well as providing some dead and rotting wood for habitats. Also, if we have heat from the wood-burning stove, we don't need to use so much gas to heat the house. What would you want us to do with the wood instead of burning it?

The heating comes on with a thermostat and has been on a few times over the past couple of weeks, but we've only had a couple of mornings with frost so far. Jumpers on though!

No heating on yet, but it has been cold early morning (wear a fleece jog suit until I get in the shower and dress for the day). Need a jumper by 4.30pm ! Still have the summer bedspread (no duvet, yet), but I don't think that will last much longer, as hubby is complaining that his feet are cold in the night!

Yes, weeks ago!

My husband has Dementia and Parkinson’s, and, like many Dementia sufferers, he really feels the cold, so yes our heating is on. He’ll often sit with an Alpaca throw over his legs as well!
Although I don’t like feeling cold there are times when I open the sitting room door and beat a hasty retreat to the kitchen as I can open the back door to cool down.

Yes wood burner lit most days, about mid afternoon.

Yes, our heating is on, and the winter eiderdowns are on the bed.

Just cleaned gardening tools and brought them all inside too.

Water to the garden tap will be turned off later today, as frost is forecast.

Logs on the wood burner - evenings only at the moment.
