Lloyd90 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 The wife has commented tonight that she’s starting to feel the cold … I told her go put a jumper on!! Then I asked Alexa what’s the temp 🤣… 13c in Bristol and dropping down to 10c tonight apparently. Quick google suggests it’s time to put the heating on so they say… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Had the fire going a couple of weeks ago because it was feeling a bit damp indoors. The indoor temp is still above 20c here but don't think it will be for much longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 (edited) Indoor here currently 64 Fahrenheit (17.8 C) in my room where I'm sitting. Heating (or more probably gas fire in the room initially) goes on when it drops below 60 (15.5 C). That is usually in October (15th last year).

Minky Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 (edited) Blimey, do you blokes live on here.? I read the post a few minutes ago and tasked the Mrs if she was cold... seeing as she is sitting next to me in a short sleeve T shirt. Still it's good to know that I can draw on her heat source when I require it. We are ready for ignition as and when because we gave the Rayburn a decoke/declaged and swept the chimney about a fortnight ago. There's a ton of smokeless waiting ready to go, and recently I was offered 9 bags that had to be disposed of due to a house disposal. Depending on when we fire it up, generally sometime in October round to sometime in late March and how hard we run it, we generally burn̈ through about 40...45 bags of the 50. When it runs, it runs ALL of the time and it does the heating and the hot water, so reducing electricity consumtion. The place gets like an engine room at times. Roll on global warming.

I have got an ole body that feel the cold , my heating is not on yet but I would be lying if I said it haven't been on all Summer because I did put it on for a night or so a few weeks ago , I am out a lot throughout the day and t b h it have been reasonably warm in our area just lately but if it got any colder then it will go back on , while I can afford it I will not sit here in the cold when all it take is switch it on , the only time I put it on this time of the year during the day is when I have a bath , and no it isn't once a month , not far short mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 I hadn't thought about how hot or cold it is until I saw this thread. Seeing the temp gauge above I went and looked at ours. It shows 23° C in this room which equates to about 73.4F. We don't have any heating on at all so the heat must be coming from US, mainly her. She is just a human dynamo who radiates heat. Really nice when I come home from night shooting. And the electrical equipment that is on. .. 55" TV, sound bar, 28" Imac computer, router, cctv unit and 22" cctv monitor.

Duckandswing Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Not had the heating on yet but the log burner has been lit quite a few times. I like the ambience as much as the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Our heating broke (started leaking) about a month ago so hasn't been on even if we wanted but we don't usually put it on till temps get down below 10. We have a south facing house with a conservatory so as soon as the sun comes up the conservatory temp shoots up - opening the doors between the house and conservatory warms the downstairs rooms nicely.

amateur Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 I've got Hive valves on all my radiators, so the boiler is permanently on. However, nothing happens until the room temperature drops below 20° during the day and 7° at night, when each radiator operates individually. Uninhabited rooms don't warm up until occupied. It's saved me loads since last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced my 30 year old analogue boiler timer, thermostat and radiator valves with a Hive WiFi controller and thermostat and individual WiFi radiator valves. These are easy to fit and set up and are controlled by my phone app. I set the temperature and time of heating for each room as necessary, so our bedroom is only heated for half an hour before we wake and go to bed. The other bedrooms, for the children and grandchildren, are only heated when they stay. The other rooms vary with occupation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I suppose that if you shut your heating down to 15 & 5 then it would save you even more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Nope… Temp is down to 18c so I put a jumper on 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I suppose that if you shut your heating down to 15 & 5 then it would save you even more money. The actual room temperatures are mainly nicely above 20°, but the heating doesn't kick in until it hits below 20° in that room. In the past, the boiler would be kicking in if the hall thermostat went below 20° and heating all the rooms, occupied or not. Obviously the 7° only applies when we are tucked up, asleep under the duvet. Previously there would have been no heating on at night.
