So, who has put their heating on?

I’ve heard lots of people say they haven’t put their heating on yet, but I have; several weeks ago!
It comes on for an hour or so in the morning, and then again at around 5pm. This means, unless the sun is shining, I am freezing cold for most of the day on my days off. I can’t regulate my temperature very well, and I suffer with cold (and hot weather).

  • I've had mine on for weeks. I am home all the time so it is on from just before I wake up until around when I go to sleep, but on thermostat at about 20c (although due to the location of the thermostat I think it is actually lower than that, but that's the number I set). I have arthritis and can't deal with being cold. Also I did hear it takes more fuel to raise the temp than cold to warm than to maintain, but I'm not sure if that can be true, probably depends on how well insulated it is. I would rather spend money on being comfortable than on other luxuries especially as being too cold makes me painful.
