Have You Put Your Heating On Yet ?

[Polar Maritime]

Got down to 1.8c here

Well it sure was cold this morning, so the heating has to be on.

[Bristawl Si]

Still hasn't been on yet - i think the last time it was on was in early April - incredible really. I really don't want to fill the coffers of the energy co.s any more than i really have to.

I'm hoping to hold out until November. We had the walls and loft insulated in August, thanks to the government./power co. initiative - i'm hoping it makes such a difference this winter.

Somebody's cold so ours is running now. Personally, my radiator is still off though.

[Wynn D Woo]

No need for it yet, but the misses did mention just now that the kitchen was cooler after being in the sitting room so I fear the cool down this week might leave me fighting a loosing battle.

[Nights King]

Not got the heating on constantly yet but like this evening it is getting steadily colder and harder to resist!

Current house temperature is 15.8c and im wearing a couple of wolly jumpers.

[Aaron]

It's on right now!

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

We haven't put ours on yet. I was tempted last night but decided not to. I am sure it will go on later next week.

[Stargazer]

Finally got my arm twisted (and to be honest was feeling a bit chilly myself) so put the heating on last night after two ground frosts in a row.

I have the aircon on in just the living room for 30min to bring the temp up to 18C from 14C then switch it off and it stays off for the rest of the day. No need for any more once the sun is out. Think it might be a different approach from today onwards though. I doubt I'll light the stove until December unless it's really cold.

my heating clicked in on Sat night and was roasted but am sat here now due to come on at 1600 if its cold enough and i am feeling frozen lol so for the the 1st time since last winter i may just turn it up untill it comes on

It's here, finally decided to put the heating on about an hour ago and feels much more warmer and comfortable now!

Dito! Its not so much the temperature but the wind, no matter what I do we always seem to have a gale blowing through the house!

Hello from Paris ( well suburbs)

No heating yet , but being in a flat and heating is electric for me so to put it on is as easy as pushing a button.Just about 18c7 ( may be round 18c in the morning) in my room now so may wait a bit longer .As long as there is no strong winds or there is some sun shine during the day ( i get quite nice sun inside flat especially room and kitchen facing south to south east and living plus blacony facing north to north west with no obstruction) but nights are getting much cooler and i feel it inside

Just am not in t shirt anymore.

[cyclonic happiness]

I put my heating on back in 2007 after the 'synoptic shift' and I haven't had it off since!

[Benvironment]

Heavens, ours has been used on 'n' off ever since that nice warm day on 3rd June!

Yes, same here!

Currently 4c outside the house and 20c inside. Central heating goes on due to the fact, it's bloody cold. Real autumnal feel. Should stay on until Friday at the least.

[winterfreak]

Ours has been on once, for 1/2 hour since last Winter. Our house is well insulated and sticks around 20°c anyway... New woodburner arriving Friday ready to be installed once our fitter gets a date!! Can't wait!!

My living room was 13.7C this morning. Not worth putting any heating on for the 20mins I was around before I left for work.

[sunny scunny]

No need for the heating to go on here yet, despite the temp in my living room only around 16c.I don't feel the cold that much really

[Coast]

With the prices they are currently charging?!!!!

[Ladyofthestorm]

Thats me putting the wood burning stove to good use first thing in the morning now. Winters arrived.

its makes such a difference a wood burning stove. We have an energy efficient house made of Beco! It nearly passively heats, but not quite.

[Southern Storm]

Just put our heating on for the first time since last winter, and i can feel my wallet getting thinner by the second

Lets not take it for granted folks, so many people are going to struggle to pay the high fule prices this winter!

that is very true-those of us who can afford ch costs are probably in the minority.

One thing not directly related to this thread more the model discussion perhaps?

The number of folk, mainly at the younger end, who have ch and would just love a 1947 or 1962-63 winter and cannot understand why some of us older folk cannot abide the thought of it. Two things we have experienced months on end of bitter weather, no thanks, and we also went through those 2 winters with a cola stove in one room, and ice on every window elsewhere inside the house, frozen bathrooms that had to be thawed out with kettles of water. So life is very much easier for most folk but we do need to remember those who are going to be really strapped for cash. Do 'we' eat or keep warm. Not something I would wish to have to make a choice over.

My heating is on but not for the first time, and will be on for the rest of the winter with the thermostat set to 18c and if it becomes cold and frosty I will crank it up to 20c.
