Have you put your heating on yet?

[Bellend Sebastian]

It's all getting a bit brrrrrrr. So have you succumbed or are you holding out?

[Izzy]

Still holding out from putting our electric radiators on which cost us an absolute fortune to run.

Fired up the log burner in the living room in the evenings and had the oil filled radiator on in my office for a few hours yesterday.

Wearing three layers around the house and telling wife/kids to do the same.

Desperately holding out!!

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Yeah. House has to be 18 degrees minimum. I've done the whole "freezing in your living room" thing, and gone to the library to stay warm before. Not doing that again unless I absolutely have to.

[Unabomber]

Not yet it’s not that cold. 

[foxes1988]

Not yet,  Always wait until October before putting it on  as if the temperature has dropped massively between 30th September and the 1st October 

 

Will try and leave it longer this year if I can.  Have brought fleeces and blankets just going to try and layer up as much as possible.

It’s absolutely freezing today but holding out putting my big coat on and switching the heating on until next week 

[SpacedX]

? I have currently have windows open. 

 

Ok, my boiler broke down in August there is that, (new one being fitted in mid October). But, I only use the heating when its single figures outside and even then, an hour in the morning and a few hours at night.  

[fox_up_north]

Nope. Though I admit I am fairly hardy to the cold. Maybe in late October it can go on.

 

A little. 

[AKCJ]

Not until November. 

[Thefox81]

November for me

Where do you live? The Bahamas? I can barely feel my hands 

[Bilsthorpe Blue]

Not before the clocks change

[Samilktray]

I’m still wearing shorts out

[Foxdiamond]

Only for half hour on 2 occasions when looking after my little granddaughter. Place soon warmed up so able to turn it off.

[StanSP]

Not until late next month! 

[The Fox Covert]

No heating at the moment. 11 deg C outside and 21 deg C in my home office, which is extremely well insulated, drylined on the outside wall and with an insulated double ceiling. I have just been camping in Scotland where there have already been a couple of night frosts! In the evening I press the boost button on the combi to get an hour's heat which warms the rest of the house for a while.

[Zear0]

It's been on, but the only radiator with an open valve is in the youth's room. Being two, he hasn't quite figured out duvet operation so I'll give him a temp pass before his gets locked off too. 

[Dahnsouff]

First winter with the heat pump - its set to 18c all day, 10c overnight, but coming on little thanks to insulation

(Consistent all day was recommended as most efficient for the HP)

 

May change it as we get used to it

Not got a choice as have a 1 year old. Set to 18.0 and wrapping up. 

[Bellend Sebastian]

1929 semi detached with massive solid wall along one side is a bit of a challenge to keep warm. My previous house envy of those living in lovely big old houses has evaporated of late, I must say.

 

Coldest morning so far - 15.7 degrees downstairs, but nobody actually moaning, amazing what you get used to.

 

Probably going to put the heating on for a bit tonight/tomorrow for the first time this autumn mainly because it's getting harder to get washing dry and for towels to dry after showering and using a damp towel is a bit bleak 

[Daggers]

Not until there’s ice on the windows

[Nalis]

I have a wife so the answer is obviously yes.

[Houdini Logic]

I leave mine on 17 all year round and it finally kicked in last week

Are you posting from Antarctica? 

[foxy boxing]

Government advice - if it's cold put extra layers on to stay warm.   while they live in their heated second homes.
