Central heating, what temperature?

I would be interested in knowing what people with central heating have their thermostats set to so I have set up a poll. You can post a message of you like as well.

Ours is set to 18C and is left on permanently, the beauty of it is the temp in the house very rarely reaches that so thermostat hardly ever has a reason to kick the boiler into action.

  • I voted 18 degrees as that is the evening average, but we have 4 stats (3 downstairs on the underfloor heating in various parts of the house and 1 upstairs) and they are all 7 day full programmable, so various times of the day are set to between 16 and 19, but 18 is average.

    Mind you the multifuel burner makes this pretty irrelevant as the OH likes to fire it up so its 24+ in the lounge, which then eventually filters through the rest of the house.
