we have fancy controle unit so heating on at 7-9am (inc hot water) then 12-1pm hot water then 1-2pm heating then 4-8pm heating and 9-10pm hot water and the on the weekends its on from 10am-3pm inc water heater and 7pm-10pm heating
all verry confusing but works well also have a thermostat, ohh and heated floor heats to 15c every 1 hour or so but thats only when we are in that part of the house Last edited by barwel1992; 08-01-10 at 02:17 AM. |

Im pretty lucky, I havnt had to have the heading on for the past few days. Modern flat with lots of insulation and kind people living beneath me with their heating on keeps my flat quite warm, I may have it on for a few hours a week during the coldest days but most of the time I wont.

All day, also I'm working at home this week and the nipper is off school. Plus each room has a controlled rad so no point playing with the boiler.

6:30am this morning she is turning on the radiator complaining she is cold. I don't understand women why can they not make up their minds?

Heating timed for 6.30-8.00 am in the week, 7.30-9.00 am at weekend. The boiler heats the water at night for an hour as well. I work from home so I am here 24/7, if the house starts to get nippy, I light the fire. It is a multi-fuel boiler stove, so it heats the hot water and the central heating kicks in when it is up to temp. Works very well. In this cold weather the fire has been lit 24/7, idling overnight on a low setting which keeps the house reasonably warm (rads off unless the water temperature creeps up above 65C) and built up for the day. The best thing is the chimney stack that rises through the centre of the house radiates gentle warmth to keep me cosy.

Hmmm - all day sort of. Room thermistat controlled so 18.5 mornings and night when I'm up and 16 when I'm not. Except for the Rads on frost control. Whether it bothers switching on much I don't know - downstairs seem to think 30 is a good operating temp - but I'm not complaining

Never. But there wasn't an option so I went for less than 5.
Me and my old man don't really get cold. |
