He said leave the boiler set to 50 increase by 10 in a cold snap and set thermostat temperature to 18. I'm apparently losing loads of heat. Surveyors came two three months ago to assess wall temperatures, damp, heat loss in windows. The guy said government funding is coming in so they will most likely insulate walls, change windows, and look to make other preventive heat loss :shrug:

Sounds like your walls are not insulated well.
I've no idea how good my walls are, the house is maybe 28 years old so can't be that modern and I saw them build it and they had some kind of yellow insulation between the outside and internal walls.
I leave my boiler set to 60 and I haven't had any issues with the house temps and as you know I turn the heating off between 10pm and 5.30am because I'm in bed so it's not needed.
I'm hoping to keep the heating permanently off now until it's needed again in October. |
