Anyone turned their heating on yet ?

I know the combi boiler is working as it heats the hot water on demand. I have the thermostat set at 16 though, so the heating won't be coming on for a while :p

Stocking up on jumpers for the winter...

Yes, I'm aware it's not powerful and therefore not suitable for damp problems, but it's very small, very low power and very quiet, which is why I got it. Like I said, it's only used when we've hung clothes on the airer, and this is small and quiet enough to be placed under / next to the clothers airer.

If I had a damp problem or needed an entire room done, I would buy something more suitable.

Anyone know the minim temp to prevent damp /structural problems?

I don't mid layering up or putting extra blankets on the bed.. But don't want to damage the house!
 
There seems to be a bit of confusion about what I said in the OP.

The main thing was "Just to make sure it all works OK" I did forget to say "Then turn it off again" Due to the fact it is still warm out side and probably will for a month or so.
So just to get it straight - Just to make sure it all works OK and Then turn it off again.

Some people assumed I meant leave it on but no Then turn it off again. :D
:D:D
 
Got a combi that does water too, that works so heating should be fine... got to bleed the rads and service the boiler at some point but it's nowhere near cold enough to need the heating on yet....

It's more about humidity than temperature, your house shouldn't get damp at 0c provided you're getting all the water vapour from breathing and cooking out. Practically though, You could do 10c as long as you air out the house occasionally (cold air holds less moisture, hence needing to air it out)

Not quite that simple, you could have some kind of pipe issue that will only occur when the higher pressure from the boiler works through those heating pipes, etc etc etc.

In all honesty pretty unlikely considering it's been serviced reguarly etc.

I've decided to stop servicing the boiler, even though it will make it out of warranty. Usual place has put the prices up and want £90 now. That's a lot of money over the years that could just go towards a repair or new boiler.

Its like a thread of who can say "I won't be turning it on *insert crazy central heating replacement*".
