Is your heating ON or OFF?

good_advice

Trying to keep the CH off as much as we can today. Keeping to the timed use of 4 hours with no overriding the control.

I have a new Loop monitor and it is very accurate to cost in money for each day. They sell them an Amazon but my set was given to me :0)

Really cold here,Ch went on low at 5 and will stay on till about 9.

This is the sort of weather I have been saving the heating for,I can put it on with out worrying to much.

Nope. Sheep can stay out in the cold and freeze their knackers off. Here, central heating is on. 24 hours a day. Programmable thermostat. Nice and cosy.

Current monthly cost Feb 14 through Jan 15 £76. Gas and Electric.

Ah bliss, the programmable thermostat has the temperature nice and balanced this morning. And I did not touch the thing. Not touched it since I installed it and programmed it last September.

Rubs warm toes.

Even more bliss, even warmer toes. Just bin to the nrg supplier, switched for free to the lower fixed rate!! Get Inn.


Now running at £71 a month from today. And with another cut next month, here we go!

Its on when I need it to be and off when not. I pay £23 a month for gas and electricity with npower. Might rise a bit as Ive used more this winter than last but not concerned.

Make sure you phone your metre readings 2 or 3 times a year so you you are paying what you are using , otherwise you may get an expensive bill when it all catches up......

I phone my readings through so I know whether im in credit or debit and adjust it accordingly .....
Had the heating on and off today but now lit the fire and sitting down, lovely after a busy day........

Yes, that is why it is so low. And it is going down by £5 by switching tariff today!!


Tips by BoP

1 Programmable Thermostat, set 14 overnight, 17 in morning, 16 during the day. 18 in the evening. On all day! Thermostat valves, about as much toss as a chocolate fireguard

2 Readings applied every two months

Never more than £150 in credit, don't give them a penny more


I am testing a spreadsheet that keeps a check on this, and the watter as well!

I have my heating on for when I get in from work and for about 3 hours over the evening. I dont have the heating on in the morning as I am always running around, DS is up and out and so is OH so dont think it is worth it unless the house was freezing

My heating is off for now (until daughters dad gets up) he puts it on daily, I have got the fire on 2 bars so this keeps it warm in the room where I am .
