Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

[Pontypool Blue]

No. Never before the 1st October and never after 1st may.

Although the wife is doing the menopause thing so we usually put her in the middle of a room and we all warm our hands near her.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Have you got a dehumidifier? Will help with the manky feel and dry clothes better than central heating.

No I havent. Doubtful Id get one tbh.

Popped mine on for 30 mis yesterday, not 'cos it was freezing (hoody on this week), but to check it's all working. Would rather know now, then when I really need it. I'll bleed the rads next week, top the system up if needed and then I'm all ready for October

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Mrs was a little cold today, used the excuse to check the system, made her happy.

Yes Dear ;-)

It's been on since Saturday...and had it on a couple of days last week.

I never turn it off, I just let the thermostat do the work. If it's warm enough then it won't come on. If it's cold, then it will. That's what central heating is for. 15 degC in August or September isn''t any warmer than 15 degC in October so why would you have the heating on for one and not the other?

Same. Never turned off just let the thermostat do its thing.

It’s not come on yet mind you. The ambient temp of new house hasn’t dropped enough yet.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Nope. Power through until the clocks go back - the standard rule in our house. We have a wood burner and the Mrs has a big jumper.

 

[Eaststander1]

Not yet .....

No chance. It's a Xmas treat in our house.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I refuse to put mine on until Europe stops buying energy from Russia.

 

[Norbert D]

Yes a few times but mainly to dry washing on the radiators as it’s not stopped pissing it down the last week or so.

To the tune of the Mud song..

It'll be colder this Christmas
Lonely and cold
'Repeat'

It'll be oh so cold, colder than cold
This Christmas.

Ha ha I think I might try that with my wife, I suppose the outburst of heat initially will cause a mushroom cloud like Hiroshima it will be good while it lasts.

 

[paulchapo]

Yes I banged it on over the weekend. It's been so damp and chilly I thought the house and probably my self needed it. Did the trick.

 

[mosssideblue]

Deffo yes

I have just caught up on this thread and i was having a new boiler put in and a couple of days later i was in hosp without having worked how to set it, when i came home it was to a lovely warm house, having gone through that cold spell with no heating at all it was brilliant it was warm as i think being freezing cold would have been very bad !
