Central Heating - on yet?

[Proto]

Anyone else managed to survive this far without their central heating? We normally have ours on from 1st October but have survived without so far. How are you all doing?

With two women in the house? Mine was on intermittently through most of the summer, then since about September it's been set on a constant 22 degrees.

Pitched battles have been fought over the thermostat for about three weeks now.

Apparently 'do starjumps' isn't an acceptable solution.

Neither is "Put a jumper on".

Tell em they need to layer up.

With radiator stats in every room, we tend to switch on early, but it does very little work till things get cold

Yeah - I tried that

it wasn't popular so the heating has been on most evening for several weeks

 

[Slick]

Not sure if mine is ever off.

 

[wheresthetorch]

I haven't got a central heating.

Downstairs underfloor been on a few weeks, upstairs in not on yet and only gets or needs an hour a day at most during the winter.

The Boss regards having the CH on before November as being faintly degenerate. A coal fire doesn't seem to count.

We live in a grade 2 listed house with no double glazing or insulation. It's been on for about 2 weeks now, I try to avoid putting it on much before November if I possibly can, but as I've been working from home this hasn't really been possible too much. Mrs C is actually pretty good, she's got a massive thick dressing gown and she's quite happy to sit under a blanket on the couch so we don't actually have it set above 20° not that that it ever reaches that temperature - it tends to sit around 18° in the hallway where the thermostat is although the bedrooms do get a bit warmer.

It works off thermostat so only comes on if house temp drops below 18C, and turns back off once 18C reached.

same on all year at 22c

Mind you half my radiators dont work so the temperature overall is wildly different
