When do you put your heating on?
My house has been dropping to 15°C in the mornings, so I think it's about time it goes on now.
Do you wait for your house to go below a certain temperature, or do you have a date in your head that you won't put it on before? |

My heating’s on throughout the year more or less. I like comfort and not having to throw on an extra top, socks or hoodie, even if it costs a bomb. Last winter was quite hard with the costs but I’ve noticed my tariffs much better this year, so all good! |

I very rarely put it on, usually only to help with drying off clothes.
My dog can't cope with it on either ha. I tend to use a blanket or another jumper, if it's bitter I might take the chill off for 20 minutes but that's it. |

I used set my heating to 23°c and walk around the house in shorts. Last year because everything went crazy with the prices, I set it down to 18/19°c for a few hours in the evening and wrapped up a bit more.
Defo not enjoying these baltic mornings and being bollock naked in the bathroom, so I think I've been defeated, and have to turn it back on now... |

Our place is all underfloor heating. Each room has its own control.
It’s easy enough for us to turn down the rooms we’re not using.
It’s stays warm though and the heating is only on for a short period in the morning and afternoon.
I figure that if the boiler needs to be on to heat the water, it can give some heat as well.. |

I think we've only had our heating on twice in the last 2 years  We are lucky in that our flat has 2 below and 2 above, not to mention really good solar gain through the windows for most of the day. We run it occasionally just to give the system a "pull through".

"I let the thermostat do its job. Temperature not date based. "
This is how I think it should be. But large energy bills are making me delay things the last couple of years. |

I have run the heating for 30mintues this morning just to test and not find any nasty surprises when we actually need it. First time using it since moving . But considering I am still wearing shorts to work in the very early mornings and late at night definitely not cold enough yet. |

I swear hubby keeps it off so he can see my nipples through my tops 
Maybe you need some gloves |

Off last week, then as the boiler is a year old the manufacturer came to service it last Friday .. been "on" ever since but only really heated the house twice but only in the morning program, evening program never switched it on. Boiler has save be loads of cash, been paying more for standing charge than gas these days... |

The heating has been on for a few weeks now, thermostat is set at 17.5c and cuts in and out as needed.
I find it cheaper to have heating on 24/7 and set the thermostat rather than putting the heating on in the morning and again in the evening.
