Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

Our condensation pipe eventually froze at 530 this morning had to jump on the garage roof with kettle to melt the ice at the end, yes the pipe is the right size it’s just been cold that long it built up and blocked it, so boiler couldn’t work !
 
We had ours on 18c still freezing it never switched off. I had to change it to 21c that way it’s warm and does turn off. Nice and warm it’s a false economy if your freezing and you can’t shake off a bad chest infection, ending in A&E.

We have ours set at 16.5 and it cost us £4.50 a day in the week after Xmas, where it was relatively mild.

In this period, it’s £9 a day, but as you say, it’s money well spent as it’s better than being ill and it’ll be milder soon.

My boiler is twenty years old and has finally died, dead , not fixable , inconsiderately right before winter !
 
Thought you had 3k worth? I had a boiler fitted for 1700 4 years ago all in.
Four years is a long time ago. My pipework is for a condensing boiler and as i understand it would need to be replaced as well as the boiler . I am maxed out on two credit cards and just pips coming in so i am in the shit, am reluctant to cash the shares in in case somethings happens , got this far without the boiler so just have to keep going
 
Our gas boiler is now 16 years old, there is no way we will ever install a heat pump despite the nanny state insisting. We will see this one out and get a new one before the sale of new gas boilers are banned, which will probably not happen in our lifetime, we are in our 70s so fuck Milliband
 
Was a 24 month payment plan it's not that big like 26kwh.
Can you tell me where to find a plan like that please ?

Someone gave me a link for a grant but after i sent them pics they said the government grants dont cover replacement condensing boilers and pipeworkso no luck there
 
Was -5 this morning according to car temp - We still never put our heating on till mid day as a rule really.
A lot depends on your accommodation in a flat or mid terrace you kindly keep warm from the neighbours burning theirs if your lucky ;)


I have a spare just incase the heating breaks down, it’s a cracking little fire soon takes the chill off a small room £7.99 + p&p
