Central heating

[oldbloke]

T'missus won't put the heating on so I've just fired up the waterbath again for my demis.
I notice various web forums and newspaper letters pages are also doing the annual "when to switch on the heating" thing.
Is yours on yet?

Nope and it won't be on at all which mean lighting the fire every morning at xmas thank god for uni

Not going on till November regardless. Put a Jumper on!

i have a wireless thermostat sits on the landing, or the coldest room in winter
best thing i ever bought
it is on ALL year, and obviously if it is bloody cold it fires the boiler up

not been on much for last few months

it sits on the landing as if it gets cold upstairs the kids wont be

in the depths of winter it goes in the play room as that has no radiator, so if that is at temp the rest of the hose must be cosy

Had mine on a couple of times but not for very long

Turned mine on to check it still worked. It does, so now I've turned it off again.

Mine is controlled by a digistat and as yet hasn't been on as the house has not been cooler than 21C. I think it is best to maintain the warmth of the house rather than let it get too cool. Keep it at 18 most of the time.

Mine is off at present and will stay off for some time. Like GN I tend to simply throw on a warm top.

Will have to try it at some time just in case, also really need to flush a radiator out, just so it is more efficent.

To warm DJ's I use a heat pad to stand them on, have found that it doesn't need to be on continuously. I use a timer that can have 8 settings a day. So it tends to be on for one hour and oiff for two. Works well.

No, mine will stay off until I wake up on a few mornings, get out of bed.... and then dive back in.

Either that or the wife tells me to turn it on

 

[daryl_crossley]

Not on yet (or for a while)

Digistat set at 16 Degrees, and it will not kick in before it drops below that, thats should keep the brews happy... but not SWMBO (she's already complaining its cold) bought her a new coat which she did not find very amusing
