What temperature do you have your central heating at?

We had our new system fitted in January and basically, it has lots of times suited around us. It never gets below 15 degrees, but is set at 21 degrees the rest of the time we are in the the house - although I do normally pop this down to 20 as it gets hot.

I dropped Aimee at my mums this morning (for the last time... wooohooo) and her house was freezing!! She insisted her heating was on, but when I checked her thermostat she has got it set at 15 degrees!!!!

I wasnt happy about leaving Aimee in a freezing house, but she refused to turn it up, saying it would get warmer, and I had to get to work. So I made her keep her coat on.

What temp does everybody else have theirs on?

i have no idea lol... i swear our thingy is broken so its on full wack n i turn the heating off fro the boiler when its warmor too hot.. i have it set at 70 on the boiler but it think thats different? x

we dont have thermostat on our heating its either on or off

23 i think ours is, 15 is cold brrr!

Ours is on btw 15-20 x

We have ours set between 20 and 21, it's not on overnight at the moment though. xx

Ours is either on or off. Its crap, when its on you can get roasting after an hr & then within 10mins of turning it off the house is cold again. We are in a bungalow and I def think its harder to heat.

Ours is broken so it could be on 10 and one day 10 will be far to hot (our indoor thermometer will say it is 26) and other days 10 will be freezing! so I just turn it on and off manually upstairs on the actual thing itself. I like my living room to be 26 degrees, hubby blames it on the fact that I'm half Spanish and like it as hot as the med BUT at night it has to be cold, I cannot sleep in a hot room, I had the fan on last night .

My nan has to have her house at 30 whenever we visited we always took shorts and t shirt with us to change into when we got there. I forgot it was winter once and stepped outside only to run back in to get changed into winter gear as walking to Tesco in shorts and t-shirt in Shoreham (near Brighton) in December was NOT a good idea (anyone who lives in/near Brighton will understand how brisk it gets) *brrr*

I only put our on from 8am to about 10am it stays warm all day then

I usually have ours set to about 21-23 depends how cold i am, sometimes it seems to take forever to warm up and others i'm turning it off because its boiling lol

I never have mine on over night, I have the timer set so it comes on at 6 am and goes off when we leave the house. and then comes on in the afternoon and goes off at bedtime.

I agree Snoop, we're in a bungalow and it gets cold really quickly xx

We only have our heating on overnight. i refuse to put it on during the day when we can add jumpers etc. But an night time i hate wearing clothes for bed so normally have it on. Our thermometer normally shows anywhere between 21-23 degress.

Ours is old and useless - it's either off or full-whack with nothing inbetween. Oh and you have to put hot water on and heating at the same time - one won't work without the other The house is freezing - doesn't keep the heat in at all, put heating off 15mins ago and already stone cold radiators and chilly round feet.

Not long to go until you don't have to worry about these things though! xx

wow either my heating is broke or you lot are really nesh
i have mine on 17 at the highest, mostly on 16 and that is comfy enough to leave on and sit with no jacket or jumper on...any higher and its far too hot at night, if i do have it on timer i bump it up to 20 but then it can only be on for an hour or its red hot, the only time i put it on higher is if i need clothes drying quicker x

I have no idea what ours in on. It is set on the boiler which I have no clue how to use
So no thermostat. OH has set it on 'snuggly warm'

We have numbers on ours but I've never taken any notice of them I just turn it on full when I'm cold and off again when I'm too warm

Ours is usually on 20-21 degrees though this year I am trying not to put in on where I can as I dont want a gas bill that looks like a telephone number again!!!!

xx

we have ours on 24 hours a day 7 days a week and our boiler is set to 40? but surely thats not 40 degrees x

ours is usually between 17-20 any higher and it is too hot.

I agree Laura that 15 is cold, ours is minimum 15 and max 21. There is no way that we could not have the heating on in the day on cold days as our house seems to get cold quite quickly and i hate having to layer up with clothes to be warm enough!

For those of you who dont have a thermostat we brought one that works wirelessly so you dont have to wire it in etc. I think you still need basic technical know how but OH's dad fitted it for us in less than a hour so am guessing was not too complicated!

ours is in the hall, its usually set between 20-25... i turn it and if it cllicks at a number i thinks cold, like below 20 then i bang it straight up. but if im drying washing its on full pelt all day till its dry.
