I've been responding to posts and am astounded to discover the amount of people who think 18 degrees is sufficient heat for a house.
People on these boards are spending a fortune on alternative heating systems and then scrimping on using them.
I'm seeing it in real life too.
People with under floor heating are running it like a radiator system on timers when it clearly should be 24/7.
Beginning green and efficient seems to becoming an excuse to be miserly.
I know its a rant but recently I seem to be visiting friends newly modernised houses and they are sitting there in the cold with their very expensive heating turned off.
For the sake of interest what do most of you heat your rooms too.
Mines 21c which I & my lads like but the wife (and all her sisters) find a little cold so they crank it up.
some green minded people lecture me about leaving a light bulb on but they go on 4 holidays a year??
OP, are you sure that it's not just people who prefer a generally cooler house? (unless of course the external temperature gets very low)
Personally I hate a warm house - not sure what my heating is set at but put it this way, if I can wear a T-shirt indoors these days - the house is too warm IMO.
Again, a personal thing, but my bedroom should be cooler again e.g. flooring cold underfoot, pillow cold etc.
Another vote for a cooler house but the missus would gladly have the heat at the highest setting all the time if she could get away with it.
It's a woman thing, Apparently something to do with woman having more water in their body. A google search gives alot of differing views
