Gf too is moaning about the cold

She can moan some more as the thermostat is wireless and really complicated she doesn't stand a chance

So not yet
Besides htpc/tv/amp keeps living room toasty

The cold is a friend to my cold heart

remind her there is a certain activity that happens between two consenting adults that generates a lot of body heat

Still got windows open day and night here; just a tiny heater in bathroom on to dry towels.

Still got both windows open at night but new build house is ridiculously effective at retaining heat.

I use my PC as heater... Play a bit bf3 and GPU shoots up to 80c and cpu to high 60`s... in about 30 mins room becomes pretty warm

Was cold last night, heating only still on early morning before we get up and late afternoon before we get home for a couple of hours. I do have a toddler so I have to keep the house reasonably warm.

Just glad I got new doors fitted last year, has made a massive difference on the ground floor.

I have the A/C set to 23deg, it applies cooling or heating as it sees fit.

Not yet fortunately as our flat is well insulated and has double glazing and doesn't get affected by the cold too much. Even during very cold winters the heaters only come on briefly just to take the edge off, then we just wear a jumper.

My missus is cold blooded so heating as been off and on all year, slightest bit of cold and heating goes on ...

We've not turned ours on yet but with the recent change in the weather I can't see it being long until it's needed. Saying that, I was playing on my PC last night and the room it's in was markedly warmer than downstairs so perhaps I'll just use that instead!

Did this morning, woke up and it was feezing, went downstairs to see the thermostat was at 17c so whacked the heating on for a bit..20 mins later it was reading 19c, usually keep my house at a nice cosy 20c during the winter.

I have my thermostat set to 21 degrees, so the heating just comes on whenever it needs to.

Bennie-Mac · 10 Oct 2013 at 16:36

Maybe for an hour or two in the evening, but just for the living room. Our front door is very drafty and our street is particularly windy as its quite isolated. House holds heat well though aside from the crap front door.

Also need a new thermostat as the ones we have are just the worst. So inaccurate, they have clearly been designed by a special *********.

It's not cold down in sunny Cornwall

No need for heating yet.

HumanShield · 10 Oct 2013 at 16:54

This morning was the first time I felt the need to do so. May have coincided with shaving for the first time in a couple of weeks.

It will no doubt be on within a few days though.

Leprechaun312 · 10 Oct 2013 at 16:59

i know its cold when my cat decides to sleep on the dvd player again, its warm, he did it ALL of last winter, so it is now time to turn the heating on

smelly_legend · 10 Oct 2013 at 17:01

I'll be re-overclocking my pc before i put the heating on.

Avenged7Fold · 10 Oct 2013 at 17:03

I haven't switched the heating on, my OC'd pc seems to be doing the trick for now. May have to go SLI soon or face the thermostat.

I've had triple glazing installed recently to replace single glazing and it's made such a difference to my place. Could probably go until Christmas without putting the heating on if it wasn't needed to dry clothes.
