I'm in the West Midlands. Although it's warming up a lot, it's still cold in the mornings - currently it's 4-5*C but will reach 18-19*C later.

Our thermostat is on timer (530am-730am, 530pm-1030pm) for 19*C. If the temp around the thermostat drops around those times, it'll come on. For the last few days, the CH hasn't been on at night but continues to do so in the mornings.

I turned mine off in February/March and that was that. When it is on (late October to February) it's usually set to about 16 degrees.

I grew up in the "usual house of the 60s/70s" with no central heating and single glazed windows. In winter you'd wake up in an unheated house with ice on the inside of the windows. You'd then get up, washed/dressed and out without any heating being on at all. Heating is what happened when mum got home from work late afternoon and made the fire up in one room for the evening.

Ours is still on -before my wife retired last year, I didn't have it on after March but her indoors feels the cold!!

Yes. I never turn it off! Some mornings it will warm my tootsies.

It flipping well is still on. I can't bear getting out of bed when it's cold (partly cos I'm disabled, and being cold stops my muscles from working), and the nights are still cold at the moment, so the heating comes on before my alarm goes at 6:30 am.

it is coming on later and later in the evenings tho' cos the warmth of the day keeps the house temp higher for longer. I think it actually clicked on at about 9:00pm last night, timer switches it off just before 11.

Ours has programmable thermostats and weather compensation and it just gets on with it. If the house is cold then it runs, if it's not it doesn't. it's no different now than in the depths of winter.

We havent found a magic date by when we turn it off - the temperature was around 5 degrees last week - and it felt just as cold outside as if it had been 5 degrees in January.

As said above if the hous is warmed by the sun then it runs for a significantly shorter time and as its weather compensated it shuts off quicker and uses less energy when or if the outside temperature starts to rise.

The only time it gets switched off is when we go away on holiday
