18c is just fine for me, 19c okay. Above that I start needing Windows wide open or fans on or anything like that.I don't know how people live with room temperatures at 20c, its far too hot for me.

I have the car set to 16 hahaI had the car sat on 26c on way home from biking today. Usually have it on 24!
I'd have house at 23 if it wasn't ridiculously wasteful and expensive!
You missed the point. The money saved can be put towards something else.That works fine if you've got the £2500 up front but it was what most households only have like £600 savings or something low so its not like a lot of people have the monies to do that instead.
We have the heating on from 6:30am to 10:30pm. Set to 19 degrees and rads are on in all rooms. We've got a couple of young kids some can't have it too cold. Plus I work from home so don't fancy wearing gloves to type!
It's costing just shy of a fiver a day in gas for that, which to be honest is better than I had expected. Last couple of winters we had it set to 20 degrees 24hrs a day - glad those days are gone!
I have an ingenious technique to make my 16c living room feel warmer. I simply go outside for a couple of minutes, where it is minus two, and voila, when I come back in, it feels toasty hot at 16c. Do I win a fiver?
This highlights a problem though with how people quote heating times. What is "5 hours of heating"?That sounds incredibly cheap. Your house must be excellently insulated! It's probably costing us a fiver for 5 hours of heating.
I thought it was fairly average to be honest, but based on the numbers in this thread I think you might be right.That sounds incredibly cheap. Your house must be excellently insulated! It's probably costing us a fiver for 5 hours of heating.
My in-laws both around 80, are currently using almost £20 a day. I've no idea what their income is but that's a staggering amount each day. Hopefully the cold spell doesn't last too long.![]()

They're rattling around in a large 4 bedroom detached house, washing machine and tumble dryer are on most days and the heating is always on when we call round. They're quite wealthy but still, it's a staggering amount each day. My father-in-law is trying his best but my MIL has no concept of frugality.
Bloody Nora, £7300 per annum if they kept that up!?!
That seems excessive, you going to check it out?
2017 - the wall control panel you can choose either continuous running (like we used to do every winter until this one) or you can turn it completely off, and the heating and hot water both have their own buttons for 1-hour blasts.Sorry if I missed it but is this a modern build? Modern designs are for continuous running as opposed to 1 hour blasts twice a day.
