    No, the heating and hot water come on 3 times a day. morning for 4 hours, lunch time for 2, then evening for 4-5hrs depending on the season. Thermostat never goes above 20, usually around 19. I dont turn the heating off during warmer months but we switch the thermostate right down so it doesnt come on.

    I guess someone is home all day then, which can make a big difference I guess. We are all out of the house 5 days a week so only have the heating/hot water on for an hour in the morning and 4-5 hrs at night (water only 1-2 hrs around the time I tend to do the dishes), like you at about 19/20C. So that's already half of your time and we don't use all radiators.
