Is your heating ON or OFF?

We got down to 0 last night in south wales but it didnt go under. My son and his GF crawled in at 3am and Im glad they took a coat although Im expecting them not to surface until the afternoon.

I think I should test the heating today as havent checked the radiators yet this year and Im fairly sure they will need bleeding. I think fleece bedding is going to go on the bed too.

It went down to -5 last night for me (South East) although my car said -4c when I got in it at 06:30. Fairly frosty everywhere which would indicate a good sustained period of cold overnight and still frost in all the shaded areas now. No heating yet though, I have not needed it.

A tip I got from a colleague who has a family member that's a plumber is always test your heating in late August/early September. If you do it then and you find it's not working it is quicker to get it fixed as engineers are less busy.

Once you get into October lots of people are turning on their heating to find it's not working so you'll face longer waits to get them round, replacement parts can take longer to arrive etc and often there's less people available to mend your heating so you have less scope to shop around for a good price.
