Sunny today though!
Has anyone put the heating on yet? We often get away without using much or any in September, but I don't remember having the doors open all day before at this time of year.
Mart.

Me too - but for a slightly different reason. During the summer the thermostats are set to come on for half an hour or so every morning at a temperature higher than I'd expect house to be even after a hot previous day (but of course that half an hour is nothing like enough for rooms actually to reach that setpoint_). That ensures (i) none of the pumps are standing for several months in sludge which might make them fail in autumn & (ii) bathroom floors are gently warm when we get up.:wave: ... me! ... :think:... but there's a reason for the madness ... :shhh: ... it's called thermal mass ...
:cool:

Rest of time rooms are at a 'set back' temp which would mean heating came on if house got very cold but wouldn't normally do so. It'll probably be November before I need to raise the 'set back' temps.NE Derbyshire.4kWp S Facing 17.5deg slope (dormer roof).24kWh of Pylontech batteries with Lux controller BEV : Hyundai Ioniq50 -
