Central Heating
Jump to: Newest in thread
Have bought fleecy blankets instead.
To misquote Scrooge: "Once purchased, they may be used indefinitely for the purpose for which they are intended. Central heating burns - it is momentary and is costly".
Yep, it's all fun round our place...  |

I put it on for a couple of days last week while it was cold and raining but turned it off again now the sun is out.
I refuse to 'hold out'. As soon as I'm chilly, it goes on. It comes from growing up with only a coal fireplace in the living room and getting dressed as quickly as possible in front of a gas bottle heater.
I'm an adult now and damn it I WILL be warm. |

Yes! Heating is on all year for the bathroom towel rail anyway. It’s been on twice a day for about a month 
The fire goes on too most evenings
Mr works outside all day in the cold, rain and wind, he doesn’t want to be cold sat at home too. |

Been on for weeks now
Still not got it on fully yet
Thremst set at 30
Pump speed is set at 1 will go to 2 as it gets colder
Boiler timeing set at 2 will go to 4 as it get colder
Lot off people don’t know how to work they heating properly
And think just because the thermostat is set to a temperature that’s it
Whare other factors fit in to it
Ie pump speed
How fast the system moves the water around and back to boiler can contrabue a factor off how hot or cold and cost ie to slow and it cost more to heat back up
Boiler timer is basically how much you boiler will allow it to cool before re heating to low and it will cost more as your letting the temperature drop and then need to rise again
Change the timing means it instead off dropping to 20c and then heating back to 30 it will drop to 27c and heat back from there effectively costing less

Got all the doors into the garden open today it’s been lovely
Had the wood burner lit a couple of times but no heating yet. Probably will only run it a couple of times this winter to keep it ticking over |

Put it on long enough to make sure it still works,then switched it off again.Nowhere near cold enough to need the heating on yet,it's still shorts and t-shirt conditions out.Might consider a hoodie around the start of November once the days are shorter and the sun isn't out as much |

I had to. Its too cold not to at all. Couple of hours in the morning and 3 hours in the eve. I used to have it on all time before at 18° as they used to say it's more efficient but read somewhere recently that's just myth so changed tactic, will see. |

"It's warm here! 23 now! Sat on bed in just shorts with a fan on and windows open. Storms are coming but still bloody warm though.  
It's 8°C here  "
Yeah that's something I don't miss about the UK  |

I live in an almost 250 year old cottage and the insulation is dire.
The log burner has been on most evenings when I'm at home for the last couple of weeks and I have a portable gas heater that I turn on should I need instant heat.
I haven't switched the central heating on yet, I'm hoping I don't have to until November |
