What temperature do you keep your house?

18 but most here think that is too cold. I don’t feel the cold, always hot. It is more keeping it cool here at this time of year

My heating is via a 4 year old gas boiler. The thermostat is set at 16 overnight and almost never comes on. It’s 20 degrees from 6.15 - 9.00, 17 during the day, 20 from 4.00-9.00pm. I can override the temperature if I need to. I’ve been keeping it at 19 all day for the last week. But leave the night temp at 16.
I have bone issues, so star jumps are a no-no for me (much as I’d like to do them), but I go up and down stairs a few times if I’m cold. I’m on a fixed rate tariff at £109 a month - no doubt there’ll be more to pay by the spring!

The thermostat is set at 18.5.

The heating comes on twice a day and if the temperature falls to 17.0 in the daytime we advnce it so that it comes back on again immediately and the temperature comes back up to 18.5.

For those setting temeoratures for lower figures. If you read any of the advice given to people everywhere, especially older people, you will know that if the temperature falls below 18 degrees for any significant period,, it is bad for your health,

Hypothermia is an insidious danger that comes on gradually and you do not notice it. I know I am prone to it. It is not worth putting your life at risk.

New to central heating this winter so experimenting as we go.
As I write the heating is set at 15.5 (was 12 degrees in living room when I got up at 6am and that's when I switched thermostat on) which we find comfortable at this time of day. We put it on/off manually during the day, usually a couple hours in the morning 15/16 degrees and then on at 3/4pm at 16/17 degrees, until 7/8pm. It is not on at all during the night.
My OH usually takes himself off upstairs around 8pm to watch one of his films or sports etc, I then use a thick fluffy throw once heat is off and stay nice and warm until bedtime.
I have no heat in my bedroom at any time (cannot sleep in stuffy room), spare room the rad valve set at 2 and OH has his at 3. My door and spare room are both kept open so a bit of warmth goes in from stair rad, on 3 and sitting room 4. Kitchen 3.
Just had first full monthly bill since using the new heating system and it is just under £90 for combined gas and electricity. My bill without the heating is usually around the low £70s. So having the heat on is about £5 per week extra.

We heat the rooms we use and more than half the house is just kept ticking over to prevent it getting damp. Our heating has been designed to be flexible as is the hot water supply to the bathrooms. Having said that, the kitchen is the warmest room because of the Aga, I have a heated throw in the snug where I watch TV or read and the bedrooms and bathrooms are kept comfortable but not that warm but my dressing room is heated separately. Basically we heat according to use. Our heating bills reflect the number of people living in the house ( usually 2) rather than the size of the house. Tomorrow I've got a friend coming to stay for a couple of days so today we'll increase the heat in the rooms she will use. It works for us.

21c 7am -9pm.

Off at night when the house temperature drops to about 18c by morning.

My bill for gas and electric is £147 pm at the moment.

Set at 19* in the day and 15* at night but my bedroom/en-suite zone is only on for an hour morning and night I’m not in there during the day. Occasionally lately I’ve turned it up to 20*

The guidelines are that for the elderly the temperature should be 18 at its lowest but preferably 20.
Our heating comes on morning and teatime for a couple of hours both times but can be boosted if necessary.

18 is the norm for this house, which has cavity wall insulation and double glazing so once it is up to temperature it holds the heat and on all but the very coldest days, it’s not necessary to have it on all day. Today is going to be one of those exceptional days I think!

I had a heatpump grant offered by our local council out of the blue...I had recently had modern storage heaters installed but also with very disappointing results. So I jumped at the heatpump.
At the moment its very expensive to run being on a hill and in an exposed windy spot. But overall its been brilliant.

18.5. Just about right.

When I moved in here the heating was provided - or not - by medieval Economy 7 storage heaters. God alone knows how old they were.

I had them replaced with a much more efficient system, giving me instant warmth and very controllable management.

Overnight storage heaters may have been the last word in domestic heating, in their day, but I found that they eat money - and give paltry return.

Underfloor heating all downstairs here and 4 different heating areas, I keep 2 areas at 20, the hall at 19 and the utility at 16. For 24/7. The floor is a big thermal mass and is best kept at a steady temperature

Upstairs are the normal radiators with one thermostat on the landing. I keep that at 19 overnight but the thermostats on the radiators do their bit, different temperatures for different rooms. I do have a higher temperature for a short time, for dressing etc and boosting is just a press of a button

My last bill was also a lot higher but typical for january. Insulation here is superb, as expected for a new house and I have a good back-up multi fuel stove. I tend to only use that on a grey miserable day but I have ample fuel stocks in case of power cuts

I’ve been used to having the thermostat on 17C.
If I’m cold, I’m mobile enough to do star jumps (rarely), put on an extra jumper or blanket.
My problem, here in sheltered accommodation, is that we are not allowed gas, which means only night storage heaters which are impossible to control. So if you want to up the temperature….
