Set for 22C, 7am to 9:30pm.

Changes to 10C for night time.

All day, thermo set to 17.5, plesant temp, if its still chilly, another layer usually does the trick, long as im not 'cold' im ok.

One asthmatic, and central heating don't mix. One bloke running on Scottish Gas and a blonde who hates the bedroom too hot and stingy to boot(read tight with money). Don;t have it on much. Just for when we're up in a morning, when school is finished for a couple of hours, mid evening until we're due to go to bed. Its not on at all during the night.

Save money where a jumper

Mmm a few hours in the morning, and when we are in the flat at night.

Not on when we sleep or when we are at work.

This bit has lost me

Do you mean have a jump?
or wear a jumper?

I know which I would prefer

I have to have the heater on from about 3ish till I go to bed now.

Although the weather is warmer here then the UK it is the temperature differential from day to night that really gets to me, and as I am at home most of the time the heater goes on a couple of hours before sunset.

Heating here costs an amazing (by that I mean ludicrous) amounts of money each month so I use a single heater unit and then light the open fire when the wind is not southerly.

Big, draughty old house. We have TRVs on all the radiators set to mid position and the thermostat in the hall set to 21degC.

In the winter the heating is on as follows:

Mon - Fri (when everyone either at work/school)
6:30 - 8:00am
3:30 - 10:30pm

Sat & Sun (and when someone at home like in last 3 days):
6:30am - 10:30pm

So average mean use ((8.5 x 5) + (16 x 2))/7 = 10.64hrs/day

We use the heating a lot less than this in spring/autumn and not at all in the summer so I've checked the "5 - 10" box in the poll.

0 hours.
we live in a modern multistory block which is warm enough all the time.
but i wouldn't exactly wear shorts and t-shirt either. it is winter.

If you have a water tank and pipes up the loft, be careful about leaving your heating off all day in this cold weather. Someone on here did and had a burst pipe. I can't possibly name the person now, could I
