House Temperature

oldskoo1

Believe it or not about 10 years ago I used to enjoy whacking it up to 28c on the stat and sit in shorts.

Nowadays everything is set to 20-22c living spaces and 18c bedrooms if the trvs can be trusted, my backup thermometer says they can.

However the stat in the hall is on 17.5c and even then the boiler short cycles towards the end as all the rads have switched off in the rooms. I might drop it further this year as I'm essentially just trying to heat a cold big hall.

It also depends on time of day.
during the day working (home office), 20deg

sat in my boxer shorts watching TV at night (8-12pm), I have room stat (in hall), at 22

the other difference is the type of stat a digital one keeps the temperature almost bang on where as the old style with mercury switch can often not switch back in until the room has lowered by as much as 3 degrees leaving folk with this type cold or putting it higher to compensate.

I have my heating set to come on if it gets 10c or below

I have a remote programmable thermostat. During the early morning it is set to maintain 18-20. During the night or when no one is here it was set to not drop below 15 but I have reduced this to 13

18 degrees in the evenings when we're home.
14 degrees overnight/in the mornings and when we're not home. If we're away out of the house for holidays etc its turned down to around 10 degrees.

Currently 17C with no heating been used. The coolest it's dropped down to so far in the last few weeks is 15C, but I won't turn the heating on until it less than 12C.

No heating on here, it's a rainy 12C outside. Hall and lounge are a nippy 16c, but I live in the kitchen which is 19C and likely to rise to 22C as I'm doing a roast chicken .

Hall thermostat is set at 15C and heating hasn't kicked in at all yet - much to the chagrin of son that has to get up at 5am for work!

Have been trying to keep the heat off here, or just using a blast in the morning for the kids-bad mistake. Ended up with the fluey/virus I had turning into a bad chest infection and had a serious asthma attack on Friday tea time. Spent most of the evening and night in A & E back in early hours with strict instructions to keep the air warm.

Something to remember if you or a family member are ill, perhaps need to spend some cash on heating.

Mind you its set to 20-21 degrees and has gone off currently so think the temp outside must have gone higher today-probably the cloud cover.
