Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Yep. Had it on for an hour or so over the last couple of days.

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Yes, switched it on last night, but a bit of a faff using the control. (A hand held device, that I am still learning.)

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Yes mine has been on a few times. It's on now as I type this.

If you have a heatwave in the middle of March you'd turn it off and if you have a cold spell at the end of August you'd turn it on.

I don't see what's with this certain times/dates to turn it on..

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Mine is usually turned on in October because we don’t feel the need for it until then, Carol ..... it has nothing to do with turning it on at certain times every year, if we were cold we would turn it on.

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

My system is fully automatic and turns itself on depending on conditions inside, but with triple glazing and maximum insulation, the heating system is usually either fully off or running with lowish temperatures. During extremely cold weather the night set-back occasionally calls for heat and during that exceptional weather the system runs up to mid range heat during the day period, but I've never know the radiators to run hotter than 55C, so I presume the house is of quite low energy demand since its complete refurbishment 5 yrs ago.

Edited for a PS ... I forgot to mention that both bathrooms and the G/F cloakroom are set to be the warmest rooms in the house and by warmest I mean 24C minimum .. we don't like cold bathrooms

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

If l am cold, l will switch the heating on. Why should l be cold and feel miserable! There’s nothing worse than feeling cold.

I don’t care how much it costs as my motto is ...YOLO.

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Another one here with auto central heating, it has an outside temperature monitor and works out the temps both outside and inside and decides when it needs to come on, it’s been on a couple of times over the last few days, still resisting putting the winter duvet on though..

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

Do you guys give no thought to the damage to the environment that especially gas powered heating causes? Seriously!

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

I just lit another candle!

Re: Have You Got Your Heating On?

I remember the old days in winter we used to gather round a 50 watt bulb...and if it was really cold we’d switch it on....
