Is your heating ON or OFF?

Ah good, that's one less thing. Thanks @tooldle

Heating has crept on here when we need it. Dry and sunny ut cold today so first load will be on line outside shortly followed by a second. Will dry as much as possible and finish off with a quick blast in tumble drier. It's my compromise as fed up with washing all over the house.

Yes, once the seals start leaking between the two glass panes, air and moisture gets in and yiu get condensation that doesn,t easily clear.  It might be possible just to have the seals replaced but you,d be lucky to find a window specialist to do this work. They,d rather replace the whole window.

We've capitulated ! 2 nights ago we put the heating on for 2 hours. 
We've shut off all but 3 rads, 2 in the lounge and one in the bathroom.
We did a timed hour of heating and used 0.34 cubic metres of gas ..

To convert metric gas meter readings to kWh:

• Take a meter reading.
• Subtract the new meter reading from the previous reading to work out the volume of gas used. -   (0.34)
• Multiply by the volume correction factor (1.02264). -  (0.3476)
• Multiply by calorific value (40.0).  - (13.9079)
• Divide by kWh conversion factor (3.6). - (3.8633)

Therefore I used 3.86 kWh in the timed hour ... Bulbs tariff has snuck up to 10.3341p per kWh 
So it cost 39.92p for an hour's restricted heating.

We've also moved the thermostat into the lounge with the 2x rads rather than in an unheated hall.

It's still MUCH cheaper to sit under an electric blanket.
We've 2. One rated at 80W the other at 120W
the 80W one could be on for 12.5 hours to use 1000W or 33p
I usually drop it down to setting 2 or 3 so I guess 40W? so I can run it all day ( I don't ) for the same 33p.
Heat the person not the room!

I put the heating on for 2 and a half hours yesterday morning, switched it off when I went out and when I got back home it stayed 17-18 degrees in my living room until about 7pm. We sat there watching the football so I kept an eye on the thermometer. I switched it on again for a couple of hours later until we went to bed and switched it off.

My husband is still in bed and it is about 15.7 degrees but it is off at the moment as I can't stand feeling too enclosed and stifled so I want to air the house out a bit so I have a few of the windows open. It is sunny and dry today and it was miserable with cold rain and wind yesterday and that seems to make all the difference.

Finally on here near Ystradgynlais. Last two days we have put it on. My son is on his second round of antibiotics for tonsillitis that hasn't shifted. I've been ill and the baby has too. I want to be comfortable and the thermostat has reached 14 so I've put it on and set it to 17.

It's on! First day today. Little blast in the morning.

Mine has turned on automatically the last two mornings when temp dropped below 16. Aside from that we're adding layers still
