Minimum Temperature for home

[Tee Hee Johnson]

Hello,

I was just thinking, and this is a quickie, what is the minimum temperature set on your thermostat?

I'd imagine there are fancy ones heating the rooms with activity, differnt zones with different temps, etc. but just wondering what the minimum you allow it to fall to.

Our thermostat, single zone, is in the living room as most commonly used room. Rest of the house heats along with it.

17C. If I'm going to be on the ground floor for an extended period (our living room is on the first floor) I might turn it up slightly higher.

21 is our lowest, but we try to keep it at a minimum of 22-23.

16c overnight and during the day in the bedrooms, 19c during the day living room, dining room 18c during the day.

With the log burner in the loving room it usually ends up around 23c.

16C is the Danish recommendation FYI

Mine is set at 10 overnight (effectively off). 17 at 'warm times', and 15 while I'm working from home.

I use heated jumper, candles to heat my office while it's just me in.

If I want genuine warmth, the log burner goes on.

my downstairs is 10c overnight and 15 during the day (but I'm hardly ever down there).

My office is set to 18c through the day and 13c overnight.

if we're in the house we have ours at 18.5, overnight it's down to 12 which is essentially off but with it being so cold these last few nights i might bump that up to 16 as anything less than that in the house is too cold for us.

Houses shouldn’t be that cold inside. You’re risking damaging the fabric of the building and mould etc forming

We run at 18 during the day, which we find quite comfortable for the most part.

I used to set it to 14 overnight but having actually experienced that it wasn't pleasant and it took too long to get to temperature in the morning, so I have changed it to 15.

18ish, but the heating isn’t on long enough to reach it. Seems to hold about 15-16 most of the time. It’ll do.

10c when in bed or not at home, 16c when I am home, but normally put it on 20c for an hour when I get home and then again before bed

Is that not t-shirt and shorts temperatures?

 

[robfosters]

Is that not t-shirt and shorts temperatures?

Yes, and I love it

 

[Worthy]

13c overnight, 18c during the day and when I finish work I'll crank it up a degree to 19c.

I use heated jumper, candles to heat my office while it's just me in.

you use candles to heat your office?!

 

[Macky]

Our conservatory/kitchen is likely sub 10 degrees currently.

Is that not t-shirt and shorts temperatures?

Pants weather that is

 

[sovietspybob]

When we get our log burner going it gets to about 22-23 in our open plan kitchen/diner/living space and it's amazing, tshirt is all you need, pants optional.
