Re: Do you argue about the Heating??
We have learned to compromise, we both agreed that the temperature of the front room where we spend most of our time should be no higher than 73 degrees and no lower than 70 degrees.So if her indoors is too hot she takes her clothes off to suit, and if I am too cold I put some on.
The secret guys is to turn the stat up when she is not looking, and sit back and watch the strip show.

I leave the heating on all the time and wondered whether we should turn it off overnight but thought if we did the house would get so cold it would never heat up again as I cant get it to go above 19. What are your ideas, would I save more money do you think or would it cost more because I would have to use the other heater to bring it back up in the day?
Could you not get someone in to look at the heating? 19° is quite low for a maximum temperature. Maybe the thermostatic rad valves need adjusting.
(all this was hubby's advice

It has to be set on 20 or over before it clicks on. The house is well insulated fortunately

Re: Do you argue about the Heating??
Apparantly it had been turned right down and he said some people do it in the summer. So he turned both the heating and the water up so we have hot water too because the water was only tepid too.The heater dial when it kept flicking back down to 17 when I altered it that was because it was showing the actual heat not the heat it was set at.
It was cold because it was by the front door but it wasnt getting any higher because it was so low so I was right but that was why the dial kept going back to 17 all the time, glad I didnt get a plumber, I hate to look daft in front of experts.
