Just got 17 degrees one meter high off floor 5 hours with new boiler
 Radiator too hot to touch more than 3 secs.
Edit gas combi

Living room is 14 - 15c during the day, and 17 - 18c at night. Kitchen, hallway, stairs and bedrooms currently 13c.

Radiator temp typically 55c (boiler flow temp 58c) so not too hot to touch. Basic system boiler.

1930s mid terrace. Lounge is currently 12.7 degrees (after 2 hours of heating between 7-9am this morning) from a starting temp of 9.9 degrees when I got up. Outside was -7 at that time. 
I have my heated throw on while I'm working at home so I'm not cold currently. Heating will come on again for 3 hours at 4pm unless I decide to crank it on early. Usually gets just above 15 degrees before it goes off. 

Earlier this week I had my heating on constantly for a day as a bit of an experiment - no thermostat so it's either on or off. After 11 hours it had just hit 18 degrees (from a start of 10.6) and I gave up at that point. I'd rather save my money and stick to the heated throw with a cat on my lap.

It maintained 20degC all day yesterday. That relied upon feeding the open fire with sufficient bituminous black sedimentary rock. With the living room door ajar the heat radiates to the hall and up the stairs too.

My moveable thermostat is in living room set to 18.5° unless I’m out ,  when it’s a sunny afternoon,  the sun is on my 10ft wide front window and pushes up the heat for a couple of hours.
The temperature drops to 17/17.5 after the heating has been off a couple of hours.
It’s taking an hour or more to go from 16 to 18 at 06.00,  I left at 07.10 this morning and it had just hit 18°,  the kitchen was 10°.   

I heard the boiler kick in at 2.45 this morning, unsurprising as it was minus 8 outside!
 I came back at 09.30 and it was 18.3° in the living room.

We have our thermostat set to 20 degrees in the evening 16 during the day.

Our gas combi boiler gets thermostat in the hallway to 20 degrees in 90 minutes or so. This gets the living room to around 21 degrees.

Living room is current 17 degrees at 2pm. Heating went off at 8am when it was at 19 degrees. I will put it back on at about 3 for the kids coming in from school. Rest of the house is between 12 and 13.5 degrees.

Zoned heating so I run the lounge at 21.5 in the evenings. Kitchen gets a blast to 19 around team time, bedrooms get a blast in the evening up to 19. Hallway is just on TRV's set to position 2. Bathroom has underfloor heating which comes on in the mornings and for the kids evening showers. C/h keeps the bedrooms at 15 degrees overnight for sleeping

currently 18 deg c in living room. havent applied any heat today.

I put £6 on the gas meter on the 9th, and i have £3.20 left.

I rely alot on the underfloor heating in my flat. Apparently theres a couple of boilers below me, and heat rises...

Lounge thermostat controls heating. Set for 16 day and night, then 18 from sunset to 10:30pm. Have added digital temp probes to boiler so can now see flow and return temps, allowing me to have the flow at 70 to ensure hot water tank heats up without taking an eternity and the return is always below 50, around 40-46 as the flow spends ages in the 60-66 zone. When first measured the flow/return delta was only 10-15 degrees, so reduced pump speed one setting and a delta of 20deg C obtained. Hot water tank set to 57, again with therm to give visual indication.

My unscientist test with temeratures in living room with new gas combi over 7 unusually cold days is  847 kw. phew
24/7  14 degrees at night and day and set to 19 in evening.
Increased flow from 60 to 65.
Today got to 19 degrees in living room for first time.
That was a very unusually cold week but no way could i or anyone afford that.
Next week mild so would be different.
