  • Our thermostat is in the dining room, set to 18°C.  The living room tends to be at 21/22°C with that, but any lower on the thermostat and the other rooms would be intolerably cold.

    We're in a symmetrical semi-detached house with our living room adjacent to next door's, sharing the dividing wall between properties which helps with warmth.  Plus the computer contributes to the heat in the evening and during the day at weekends.

    My thermostat is set to 20*c, the temperature reading at the back of my living room is 16.5*c

    I do feel a little cold, at least my feet are cold, but that is nothing new.

    Yes I'm going by the thermometer temperature.  No gas, air source heat pump.

    Comfortable temperature for me is 21C in the living room and 18C in the other rooms, except the kitchen/dining room which I bring up to 21C with a gas cabinet heater when I'm in there. Try not to let the house get much below that, although it's been so cold outsde the last couple of days I have let the other rooms fall to 17C and just spent most of my time in the living room. Getting through firewood quickly though :)

    Daytime we keep it at 16.5 on the thermostat from 8am(17'ish in the living room). After 3 pm, we light the log fire and get to 20/21 in the living room, 17 in the rest of the house. Overnight it drops to about 15.
    Our gas consumption for the past week is about 20kw per day, the logs we use about 7 per day.

    Living room is 19.5° , upstairs is always 2° cooler.
    Kitchen is unheated and drops to 12/13 overnight.  
    Bathroom seems unusually cold, can’t seem to get it above 17°,   going to put in a bigger radiator next year,  not doing it now as system has only just been cleaned/ drained and new inhibitor put in. 
    Boiler flow temp is 60° but return temp is showing as 55°,  which seems very high,  would like to get it below 50°.

    Those log fires look good. 
    I think problem is me thinking gas central heating can get that sort of temperature in this cold snap. Living room still 17 degrees . 15 degrees on floor
