I live in a new 2 bed end terrace. I have GCH, which heats the water and gas hob.
On the boiler theres a knob with a snow flake that can go round to 6 then max. I normally have this at 4.
The radiators have temp dials that most of them are on the highest IIII ( downstairs toilet and 2nd bedroom are on II/III).
I currently have the thermostat on the lounge wall at 20 degree.
Is this the best option? I dont want to be wasting heating or using it wrong.(I'm all new to this)
Also the heating is on a timer, 45mins morning, 3 hourson a night.

The Energy Savings Trust recommend to set your thermostat between 18-21 degrees. So 20 degrees with the heating on for less than 4 hours a day sounds pretty good to me

Warm enough so that you are comfortable, but not so warm you sit in shorts and a t-shirt.0

II or III should be sufficient0
