I'm refusing to put it on but they're saying they are cold.

Its 12 C outside and about 19.5 C in the house

Why are they cold if the temperature inside is 19.5 C?

Do they complain of being cold outside in the summer when the temperature is around 20 C?

Yes I've had to put it on occasionally over the past week. After putting on extra socks, and two heavy jumpers!

I didn't want to though! We moved house over the summer, so I'm still getting a feel of this new house! I'm pretty impressed though, it heated up quite quickly, and stayed warm. Now to figure out how to reduce electric usage, my OH doesn't know the meaning of conservative...bless him

I put mine on for a couple of hours yesterday. If it was just me and hubby we would wear layers and blanket but my 17 month old obviously wants to play, have baths etc so it isn't fair or healthy for him to be cold

Not yet.

My heating bills have gone up after the horrible winter that only ended about 5 minutes ago, and I thought I was being careful! I'm going to make a concerted effort to use even less electricity this year, I only have wall heaters and they're a terribly inefficient way to heat a space.

The dogs will probably be allowed on the bed from tonight though!

Mine is not on yet and won't be for a while yet.

My bedroom temp is currently 18 degrees, so a fair while to go yet before it needs to go on.

This is a very good question and I'd like to know if I am the only one who notices that 20 C outside feels very different to 20 C inside? I'd also love to know why 22 C can be lovely and warm inside, but when the temperature drops further OUTSIDE, 22 C inside isn't warm enough??

I wouldn't have put it on yet, but I succumbed for an hour last night to the nagging from the dog. It was the only way to watch tv in peace.:o
(I've only had him a couple of weeks so I'm still being nice to him - it won't last!)

How do you all know what the temperature is in your house?

Mine went on last week .....turned on too high and it was too stuffy when I cameback from the shop. Not
