[Misc] Have you had the heating on yet? [2017]

[hitony]

It's around now we don't like having storage radiators, to make them viable you have to have them on or off, when we do turn them on they stay on for good, charging up on the economy 7 tariff (12 midnight to 6am) for those that are not aware it's really not worth turning them on and off like a conventional heater, we have put ours on and at times as the sun comes up during the day we just open a window or patio door even!

On the plus side we have never had to use the manual heating switch (turn them on outside of economy 7) and our bills are really low, so not all bad, as the weather gets colder they really do come into there own though!

What are you lightweights gonna do when it gets cold.

 

[robinsonsgrin]

its not cold yet ffs! add a jumper or a fleece to snuggle up on sofa underneath. then again, grew up in a house with no central heating and the ice build up inside the windows!

Leave the thermostat at 21 and if that isnt sufficient put a jumper on or at my age a cardigan on.

Did you have an outside bog and a tin bath?

 

[whitelion]

No. Not until at least the clocks go back. I hate winter!

Agree with the timing but love the seasons it's one of the reasons for staying here. I wouldn't want every day to be the same. Love getting toggled up and walking over Downs or along to Saltdean from Southwick with the waves crashing on the beach. There ain't nothing like it except the Coastal patrols have gone all H&S telling you to keep off the Marina arms etc.

We haven't used the air con yet if that helps?

The GLW put the heating on late last week. The thermostat war has started. The woodburner's been on a bit as well.

I shut the last window a couple of weeks ago, and even before starting a month of 'well go and put a jumper on' yesterday I cranked the heating up from 15 all the way to the dizzying heights of 16 degrees.

I must be getting old.

Heatings now been switched on, but still in shorts .

 

[BensGrandad]

we leave the thermostat at 21° during the evening but the radiators are warm so it must have kicked in.

No, no it doesn't.

Swapped out of work shorts on Monday and into long trousers until April......heatings on to get the washing dry!

What is it with grown men and shorts ? I don't want to see your scrawny legs or your latest tattoo - act your age !

Had the heating on for an hour couple of nights last week, and last 2 nights. May have to succumb and put the timer on. (I'm sure it gets worse with age and I didn't used to be such a wimp)

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I have it on for a couple of hours in the morning to wake me from my igloo of a flat

Still not had the heating on yet. Not been cold enough yet so think my neighbours either side (we're mid terrace) must have their on full blast.

I always think of these when I hear the word Thermostat
