Is Your Heating Off Now?

I'm just being nosy really........

It's been quite sunny the last 2 days where I live. My heating was turned off last night and hasn't been put on today. I'm hoping it can stay like that a while (although I hear we could have a mini cold snap next week...)

Has everyone else turned their heating off or is it still too cold where you are...?

    All year round? Really? Even on the hottest days?

    Mine is on all year round too. Just move the thermostat up and down.

    It didn't click on yesterday evening or tonight so far.

    I don't have central heating, just storage heaters. I don't use them after 31 March and I don't turn them back on until 1 october - regardless of the weather. I also only have two of them on all winter - as they are so expensive to run. I make do with heat from my real fire in the depths of winter.

    Mine is on a programmable thermostat, it hasn't been coming on in the mornings only the evenings, I'll probably just leave it on.
    Its usually set like this
    06:30-9:00am 18c; 9:00-17:00 17c; 17:00- 22:00 20c; 22:00-06:30 15c.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    mine is timed to come on on a morning for an hour and an evening for an hour but I als manually switch it on inbetween - have hardly had to switch it on over the past few days :T In the summer I switch the central heating off altogether and just have my water on for an hour morning and night.
