Anyone succumbed and put heating on? It's 15° in my insulated house. My husband is feeling it. Think it's time.. Anyone.

My heating has been on since the 24th September.2

It's on, but not very often. Typically 30 minutes or so first thing in the morning and for another 30 minutes or so at night.

Do you get enough heat. My boiler set at 65° and takes sometime to even reach decent heat. It's a condensing boiler new 2yrs ago.0

I don't understand this 30 mins of heating thing, my CH has been on for 5 hours and has raised the temp from 16.5 to 18.5.
What difference does 30 minutes make?
Also people say i put the heating on for 30 minutes at 21c but what difference does that make if it starts from 16C? The CH does not try harder and your house does not reach 21C.
My house is modern and A rated (although mostly because i have solar panels and diverter)3 -

I agree, especially with reduced flow temperature having heating on for 30min doesn't make much of a difference.Krakkkers said:I don't understand this 30 mins of heating thing, my CH has been on for 5 hours and has raised the temp from 16.5 to 18.5.
