My sister has one, she uses a calor gas heater and says it’s cheaper. Heats the place up really quick apparently

And only a slight risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

I’ve had it on twice so far this autumn, both for half an hour or so, when the windows were all steamed up in the morning with condensation. Just to warm the rooms up.

I have it on in the late afternoon till about 10pm set at 19 degrees. Seems to be averaging £5 a day equal split between gas/elec. Its not even cold yet so I expect that to almost double soon.

Its cold tonight so succumbed and put it on probably cost the price of a couple of pints and as there's no football this weekend might as well be warm.

What is the figure that we think is needed? I personally think 16 is the time to put it on . I will set it to 20 then turn it off when the kids go to bed . If I had no kids I would go to the boozer and come home with a curry and not need any heating.

Yep that’s what we do, upstairs is a lot colder and my daughter spends a lot of time up there so we stick it on fir an hour.

I'd keep it well ventilated to be honest.

Today is testing me ,14 indoors but staying wrapped up , mind you my dd has been wacked up today so i dont know if it is worth using some heating , my head is fucked trying to work out the energy business and dd and credits etc

 

[give it to gordon]

I havent

Live in middle flat and temperature hasn’t dropped below 18 degrees yet, hopefully the lower and upper flats heating is keeping my temperature up…….

I'm looking at it like this: government is giving me £2 per day, DD was £90, total approx £5/day. I'm comfortable spending this as it leaves us no worse off. We're lucky that we have a large credit as well that we can eat into if it gets really cold. It's a 2 bed apartment that faces south so it's getting to around 24c in our living area if the sun shines as it is now. It has to be really cold outside for it to go below around 17c overnight.

Got -18c this morning, looking for a high of -2c in the afternoon, cold snap over
