Your central heating temperature.

Sandrock

Please vote for what temperature your home is set to be at whilst you are home (evenings and weekends for most, I presume).

Ours tends to be about 16-17c, but falls to 10-12c overnight with no heating as we don't yet have a thermostat installed for our boiler and are loathe to run it all night long.

We struggle to get it to rise about 18c with the current low ambient temperatures even if we tried, as it is an old building with no insulation, wooden floors, sash windows and high ceilings.

Is that the hall temperature (where the thermostat usually is, so won't mean much) or the living room temperature (which is complete guesswork anyway unless you actually have a thermometer in there)?

Also it depends where the thermometer is in the room in relation to the radiators and door.

Like I said in my original post, we have no thermostat. The readings are taken from a thermometer placed around the property - it is very consistant in each of the rooms.

No thermostats here (and this house was built in 1996!). There's a min to max dial on the boiler, with settings from 1 to 6. I set it to between 1 and 2 (any lower and the water is not hot enough).

Rudimentary thermometer in the sunny kitchen drops to 50F these days in the afternoons (heating is on at 6pm). Downstairs floors are concrete underneath the carpet, so it's quite foot-numbing down there. I sit in bed typing rather than freeze in the living room.

20 on the thermostat in the hall but I don't know what that means in each room.
