Do u have your central heating set to come on at certain times or....?

Question

do u have it on constantly at a lower temperature?

Answer 1

Mine comes on at 5.30am ready for my gf coming in off night shift, then i turn it on during the day if its too cold

Answer 2

We have found it much wiser in the long run to set it at a constant, slightly lower temperature, and just leave it there, period. It is financially wiser, also. This has been our experience. We live in a three story home in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. We heat with oil. Forced hot water in radiators all throughout the house. It is far better for the entire house to maintain an equilibrium than to up and down the thermostat all the time. We actually save fuel by picking a temperature and then leaving it alone. This is an important question and I thank you for asking it. - Chris.

Answer 3

Hi Dizzy, I have my central heating constantly on, at a lower temperature.

Answer 4

This all depends on what type of boiler you have but with lots of conventional boilers, there is a opinion between lots of heating engineers that you are better to leave boiler on with a low setting when temperatures are near freezing thus saving on frozen pipes. plus every time you start up a boiler from cold it costs money as boiler has to get up to temperature
Put on to timer once temps are higher Hope this helps Sam

Answer 5

I have it on twice a day for a couple of hours- we have not been in our new house for that long and it is unbelievable how cold it is!
I just dont understand why a house builder puts a radiator underneath the window (obviously they are thinking of the space) but seriously I have to tuck my curtains in behind it or all of the heat goes straight out!

Answer 6

I don't know if we have central heating but I've always wondered cos some times in the day the house is warm and sometimes it's colder. I just can't figure it out!!

Answer 7

I got a programmable one with 4 settable times per day. When no one is home it goes to low temp. At night it goes to a slightly less-low temp. At breakfast and evening time it is at a comfy number.

Answer 8

well depends on the weather, better to keep it on in very cold weather even at a low temp . to stop the pipes freezing/breaking

normally it's on in the morning / night. but the hot water is always on.

Answer 9

Programmable thermostat.

But I'm constantly nudging it higher while we are home. Then when it cycles it goes back to what I originally programmed.

Answer 10

Never put a jumper on you wont catch a cold in the cold
