Re: Keeping Warm
I can remember many moons ago when houses where cold places to live and beds never felt warm in winter.Re: Keeping Warm
Up until a few months ago I had a faulty central heating timer - well, it was actually broken, and had been for just over a year.Re: Keeping Warm
I have the central heating on first thing in the morning-can't abide getting up from a lovely warm bed into cold rooms. Stays on for couple of hours, then doesn't come back on till late afternoon and stays on till I go to bed. During day I wear extra layers, especially when out walking-once I sit down, usually afternoon, and I feel chilly, I'll put gas fire on for a couple of hours.....Re: Keeping Warm
What's aggravating me is that now I've got a new timer, I HAVE to have it switch on twice a day, which goes against the grain with me. So, I have it switch itself on at 11 a.m. then go off again at 1 p.m. when I go to work, then come on again at 3 p.m.Re: Keeping Warm
I live in the middle of a terrace block, have other flats on either side of me as well as flats above and below me. As a consequence I only have the front and back walls of my place to heat. I received a Government grant to install gas central heating five years ago so am now sitting in my super-duper recliner chair right beside a double radiator and am supremely warm. During the day I normally set my room thermostat to 19oC and the boiler keeps my room at that temperature. However, in the middle of this very cold snap, I have increased the room thermostat by one degree.Re: Keeping Warm
We have the central heating on in the day. It is on a thermostat.Re: Keeping Warm
I got t'stats on every radiator ...but the best thing to get is a programmable ROOM STAT all you then do is set your heating on to constant and rely on the stat ..i set diff temps for diff time of the day 18c in eve and early morn..16.5c during day and 15c over night ..its so much easier than getting up and changing the stat every few hours.
