What do you set your thermostat to?
Generally, ours is 18°C in the evenings but 16°C overnight is a bit too cool for us.
In the day, it's at just 14°C as nobody is home (but we'll boost as needed if someone is home).

16 overnight but up and down from off to 24 during the day/evening.
Cant see the point of having heating if you are not using it to keep warm.1 -
19 during day but 10 at night though it comes on if frost due to safety device.0

15 C overnght. 19 C from 06:30 to 14:00, then 20 C until 22:00. We are mainly home all day. Can't stand a hot bedroom so the upstairs radiators are kept on 'low' via their TRVs.#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3661

18°C on the thermostat, a Drayton RTS.anotheruser said:What do you set your thermostat to?
The CH programmer is a Drayton LP522 and currently switches the heating on for an hour in the morning and four hours in the evening. The rest of the time the temperature floats. (If we get a proper cold spell, we switch it from "timed" to "once" so the CH runs all day.)

Our stat for underfloor heating suxs a bit. its set for 20°C but when it clicks off room temp can go upto 20-24 depending on outside temp....(i probably should lower it)anotheruser said:What do you set your thermostat to?1 -
I'm aiming for 20-21C in most of the house, bedrooms a bit less. As an ASHP user, I'm trying to control room temperature using radiator flow temperature rather than thermostats. Not very successfully at the moment as the house is 23-24C.0

19.5 during the day increasing to 20 from 4pm to 10pm and then 17.5 overnight (although house doesn't loss more than 2° overnight so doesn't get down that low unless its a really cold spell). Its a Hive thermostat and unfortunately a certain other resident of the house (the better half) has a habit of asking Alexa to boost the heating to 22 so I have to keep an eye on the app 😅0
