What temperature do people's houses drop to if the heating isn't on? Mines around 14.5c at the moment and with the heating turned on from 8pm to 10pm while I was at work it raised to 17c.
My house is 25years old so it won't have modern insulation from the last few years.

The thermostat and timer is integrated in a modern system. You don’t set the heating to come on or off per se, you tell it what temperature you want at different times of day. In our case you also set upstairs and downstairs independently. At the moment our downstairs is allowed to drop to 18*c during the working day before the heating kicks in (so between around 8.30am and 4pm iirc). However, it’s set at 21*c between 6am and 8.30am. We’re finding, with the outside temperature around -7 first thing and still below zero mid afternoon, that the temperature indoors hits 18 maybe around 2-3pm. So we’re losing maybe 0.5 degrees per hour, with a 15-20 degree gradient between indoors and outdoors.
