Will this make our heating bills skyrocket if its always on?

Also this morning I've noticed mould coming back on the side wall in the living, this is the same wall that has the problem in our bedroom.

Basically the wall in the living room/ dining room gets mould and feels a bit sticky to touch in the corners and its in the corners that this happens. Then upstairs we have 2 bedrooms which share the same wall. Now our bedroom is at the front and gets the mould but doesn't have that sticky/ damp feeling we just get mould in the corners and the next bedroom doesn't get any mould as its never used.

My only other concern is that outside on the wall we are having problems with it looks like the render is peeling as if waters getting into this. Could this be causing the problems with this wall? Or am I just being overly paranoid and the problem is that I need to keep the house at a constant temperature?

The thing is according to a little thermometer I've got it says the house is 18 degrees and that's without the heating on. Could this be wrong? Do I need to make the house warmer.

I'm starting to get a bit stressed about this as I'm thinking the worst and that its some sort of damp.

Yes it will, and I wouldn't go that way at all, I see no point in keeping a home up at 19-20 deg or so for the 10hrs per day when you aren't home.
As suggested other poster will see it differently, but given it's me that pays my bill, I tread more carefully.


I've said it earlier but because you have asked the same question again I'm going to give you the same answer again.


You need more ventilation which will lead to more heat input, otherwise things will start to mould and deteriorate.
