Central heating, no thermostat

applepad

We live in a 1960 built semi which always seems cold, we have cavity wall and loft insulation, along with double glazing which is 12 years old.
We have an instant hot water boiler and a boiler which runs the central heating, it's about 25 years old and had no thermostat in the hall way like my old house.
So we just put it on a timer to come on for a couple of hours 6.30am-8.30am in the winter and turn it on when it gets cold on a night. But myself and my husband have differant ideas to how cold it needs to be to put the heating on.

It's an old heating set up, we have replaced some radiations to double ones, but the pipe is still small bore. We do not have the money to change the boiler-you can still get parts for it. Or the heating system.

Anyone else have a simlar set up? What do you do?

Thats a battle with or without a thermostat .
Buy a room thermostat for a couple of quid and note when you want heat and when he wants heat and meet in the middle .
