Given that the only realistic saving is in hot water (an optimistic
70%),
not house heating (when it's REALLY required)
I wonder what is thought of as REALLY required.
Our thermostat is set at 10C - that is, the thermostat is wound to its
lowest setting. When it comes on in the night, as it did last night when
we
had a frost, it's too hot for us.
Turn down the boiler then ?
I've turned off the bedroom RTV.
But that doesn't answer what is REALLY required in terms of house heating.
Most houses I go into seem to have the thermostat at 25C, the inhabitants
wear minimal clothing.
Hmm... I can't get our family under 18...
Cheers, J/.
