Hands up those that do not have a thermometer and just opened the
back windows when they got in from work to "let some air in"?

My hoouse stat tells nme inside tem[ps and I have a mercutry termotere
as part of a vinateg barometer

Outsode I use lakenheath, mildenhall or Cambridge airfields via th
linux weather app to see whats what



Such unneeded effort IMHO as there there is not much you can do
about it:-)

1. I know when it is hot
2. People in the street tell you it is hot (the same pillocks that tell
you when it is raining)
3. Weather forecasts tell you when it will be hot.
4. It would be a **** of a job to change the thermal mass of my house.

Actually simply casting a big concrete block inside the house would
do it


I have 30 tons of thermal mass concrete in my house. It takes three
months to cool off/warm up.
I have zero heating bill.
Plus. a negative electricity bill to the value of £2000/year.
Plus a zero fuel cost car in Summer.

You need to do things properly.
It enables a reasonably good lifestyle.


You really are a ****stain, harry.
If every home in the UK had 30 tons of concrete


Most have WAY more than that

Modern floors are solid 6" concrete with masses of insluation and UFH



thermal mass that would
be about 750 million tons of the stuff.
If every home in the UK was being as parasitic as you, who would pay for
the FIT bill?
