This year we haven't turned on the CH yet and I am now wondering what is
going to force our hand.

Below 15C indoors?

Below 10C indoors?

Ice on the inside of the windows in the morning?

In the fairly recent past with new combi boiler we seem to have had the
thermostat set at 20C and the heating on most of the time.
However this year with the mild weather (and back in the house with no
thermostat) we sem to be managing O.K. so far with no heating.

Mine's been on 2 or 3 times so far just to take the chill off the room.
April - October inclusive (7 Months) have used 75kWh of which 5 were after
flushing etc.
Looks as if it'll be some time in November before heating's necessary.


Everyone's temperature 'tolerance' levels are different. My wife and I
often find when visiting relatives or friends in winter that we're
freezing - whereas they don't seem to notice that it's cold. My wife's
brother's house was always like an ice-box. They had the heating on
first thing in the morning - and again in the evening, but throughout
the day it was off. We would often make an excuse to pop out somewhere
in the car - just to get warm!

Our heating comes on at 6 am and does not go off until 10pm.
