    Ours is now on from 7-7:30ams in the morning, and from 5-7:30pm in the evening, set to 15 degrees C.

    Our house is tall narrow 3 story townhouse (2 up, 2 middle, 2 down), so it's a bit like a chimney. In the evening after the heatings turned off it's chilly downstairs but warm upstairs which is annoying!

    I’m impressed! Was gloating about not switching it on yet myself, but then I am a lily-livered Southerner :D

    Ours has been lit for a month. However, the thermostat is set at 18 so it's only actually fired up a couple of times.

    It’s been so mild here, no need for CH yet, but we are right down south - have had woodburner on a few times, more for comfort factor than anything else, not bragging, CH will go on as soon as it warrants it - hate being cold ;)

    Same here - house temp is 16.5 so only need a cardigan (obviously other clothes as well :) )

    Tried the CH a few weeks ago to test it and it hasn't been on since.

    Will hold out for a while longer or if hubby cracks as he's a wimp.

    Fortunately I tested mine a couple of weeks ago.. the expansion doohicky had deflated so that needed refilling and the valves needed changing and I had 1 radiator just full of air!.... works now.. but my Hive is not working so I'm still on a mission with that... 11 months and counting.. 1 thermostat, 2 hubs, full wire change and 1 new receiver.. it is a pile of poop!!
