Have you turned your heating on yet?

[Methuselah]

Just this minute turned my heating on. First time in six months!

Chance would be a fine thing.  Got in the shower this morning - no hot water  Engineer given code and says its a blocked pipe - sounds painful  Boiler only 2 years old so under warranty.  Anyhow he’ll be here shortly to rectify it.  Okay for heat as I use the multi fuel burner every day when needed.

Yes now in November we have had a few chilly mornings and evenings so whacked on for half hour to take the chill off.

[Dorsetbred]

Just turned mine on as it says 13C inside, figure I might try and warm it slightly..

Isn't it time we had a 'have-you-turned-on-your-A/C-yet?' thread? @markyo would be posting 365 days a year!

I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw this come up! Even by my standards!!

Yes, especially what we are faced with during the next few days!

My thinking is we will have a thread like this in the next 10 years!

I ran mine for an hour 2 weeks back. I like to move the water round in the radiators.

[Sunny76]

Even at this present time, it seems like a lifetime away before I even consider this.

We rarely make it past late September, before we start using the heating gradually, so I think sometime around or after the 20th. 

[Schnee]

Oh I normally turn the boiler radiator temp right down in Spring and then periodically run the heating to move the water round.

Makes me feel sick thinking about it at the moment.

[Climate Man]

Never turn my heating off. That's what a thermostat is for.

[Lord Grogon]

I had it on last Tuesday.

Us peasants me' lord, wont dare put the heating on till 2024 at this rate.. Maybe we'll come and lean against your outside walls

Whilst my old house has been a little on the cool side over the last few days, I haven't been finding it cool enough to have the heating on just yet. Wearing extra layers of clothing and awakening my trustee electric blanket out of hibernation has been doing the trick.

Lit my log burner Thurs/Fri evening for an hour or two, just burnt a few off cuts and scrap wood, took the chill off nicely!

[Sunny76]

Yeah, I turned it on briefly for about 20 minutes on Friday evening and yesterday evening. Just to take the chill out.

Will probably wait for another couple of weeks before we start needing it on for several hours a day. 
 

Once the daytime temps start dropping below 16c, the flat will be cold enough to need the heating on more frequently.

Had the log burner on last night, lovely I’m gonna try and only use that this winter my wife and kids will hate it as they hate getting in cold beds but I find nothing better. Snuggle up

[Dami]

ours came on for 20mins  on Friday at 5:30am, which is set for when we get up.  

[mistyqueen]

Had it on for an hour yesterday as house felt damp after plasterers had been. Fire has been on in sitting room since Tuesday and I reckon that'll be it on for the foreseeable. Makes a huge difference even with a wee fire for a few hours.

Yep, it'll soon be time for me to get the warmer duvet looked out, along with the fluffy thermal sheets and the electric blanket. I do like my comforts! 

[The PIT]

Not yet and hopefully not for a while.
