Mines on it’s freezing here in
the NE . Wish I had set the timer for coming in but I forgot . Shivering while I wait for it to warm up .

The thermostat is on, set at 20. In my old house with little insulation, the heat fires on with a small change to weather.

No, but the hot water is on.

Ours is 'on' all year, thermostat set, so if it is chilly in June one evening it comes on, and if we have a heatwave in March, it doesn't. It is getting more difficult to predict weather by the calendar, besides which, I hate being cold. We don't have it set very high though, as our house is very well insulated, no cold spots.

Yes! Have the thermostat set at 15 & it turns itself on. I tweak it in the evening ++. House is very ol with no proper foundations so quite cold & damp in this weather. Brrrr

Yes, I have just put it on.

No.... I mean, it came on by itself but I definitely didn't touch the thermostat at all. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

On all the time now, of course it only switches on if the temp drops, so really only mornings and late evenings.

Yes, cold and damp in Bury, my heat is on

Yes I’m a southern softy but I put an extra jumper on and it’s still freezing so on goes the heating. Bliss!
Anyone else admitting to this ?
