Re: The energy crisis

Re: The energy crisis

We've had ours on the last couple of nights as it's been pretty nippy up here, but only had it on a short time to heat the room up.

18c outside today, 21c in here. And the heating has never gone on before mid-October, and that is to take the chill off first thing in the morning. Full control to the thermostat only starts mid-November usually.

Re: The energy crisis

Starting to come on in the morning and evening, as it's starting to get chilly.

Daytime thermostat temp is set to maintain at 15c, mornings 06:30 to 08:30 & evenings between 17:00 - 22:00 it's set to maintain at 18c

Re: The energy crisis

Not quite at the jumper stage yet but it wont be long. I do have my sleeping bag open but only used it a couple of times so far. Last year there was no cold weather payments here so no 7 day runs below zero so hopefully the same this year
