Wow, this is old ... again ...

22C mostly, with two boosts to 22.5C in the morning and evening.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

22C is my preference, however since getting a smart thermostat I set that to 19c which is still a bit low and then manually tweak it on my phone up to a max of 22c if I think I need it.

My heating got switched one for Autumn on Saturday morning and duvet changed when I started to freeze my tits off...... Roll on Spring.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

Am I the only one that turns their heating off at 10pm - 7am? I can understand the heating being on during the night if people are not in bed though.

Ours is off 10 to 8. It used to be 9 to 6, but we go to bed later these days, and get up without the call of alarm clocks.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

15 overnight, then around 18 through the day (up to 20 if there is a cold snap).

Just got all the winter jumpers, long-sleeved t-shirts, long-sleeved polo shirts, and thicker shirts down from the loft yesterday, and put the lighter weight t-shirts, polo shirts, and short sleeved shirts up there.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

Our CH is on all the time but with the temp set to 19°C upstairs and 19.5 downstairs it rarely comes on as new build it rarely gets that cool in here.

It did come on a couple of times recently though as it was 13°C outside and the windows were open so house got too cool.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

Couldn't wait until this is resurrected again in 2037, we have ours at 18c normally with a Nest learning thermostat sometimes tweeking it down to 17.5c. Manually turn it up to 19c in the winter on very cold days to keep the rest of the occupants from complaining too much.

Exactly the same as our house. I wear a jumper if it gets to cold.

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?

Is it cheaper to leave the heating on at 15c overnight or have it come on at 7 in the morning, any research on this?
