Der Kaiser Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Yes. Start of this week. For 20 minutes. Checked it's working. Radiators heated up. Bled any that needed it. Now back off.

hughesie27 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I have a Nest so it decides when it goes on/off (I can of course override it or choose the parameters for it) Heard the pipes and heaters creaking earlier on so it must have been lightly heating the place. Might put it back into a learning mode for a week so it only kicks on when it's a bit cooler than 10 degrees outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnunb Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Don't normally need it on until late Nov/Dec. Mind you, got my cousin visiting from Essex next week so half expecting him to moan about it being cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only usually needs to come on for a wee while in the morning to boost the place up, but occasionally we'll give it a boost during the day if it's a cold day.

highlandjambo3 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 My heating is on 24/7……temperature control on the radiator in each room…….heating a house up from scratch is very cost ineffective as your central heating has to work its backside off if the room is very cold. Had a new gas central heating system installed 3 years s. Moths gas bill was £38……last months £29 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmiyaHearts Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I bought some thermal leggings and one of those big wooly hoodie things to use. I really dont think i can afford to put my heating on more than maybe 30 mins before I get up in the morning, looking at how much gas is costing me just now, while heating is off completely (showers and cooking only). Decided will go into office this winter, instead of working at home. Edited September 19, 2022 by OmiyaHearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellczech Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Not sure what Truss is thinking. If the average bill is 2.5k and she freezes bills at that then half the country will whack the heating up to max for the whole winter...

Chances are if you live in a 3 or more bedroom house with a family you'll be an above average user. She's only 'froze' the unit costs so the average user bill hits £2500. Whack your heating up to max for the whole winter by all means, just remember your bill will likely be much more than £2.5k for the year though! You pay for what you use...there is no fix at 2.5k as such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
