It came on this morning at some point as the house temp dropped below 18°

I don’t think you should let it drop much below as will take longer for house to warm up and keeps the pipework healthy.

It was only 1° last night in most places so certainly below 18°

Best to get it running soon to check for leaks or other problems before plumbers get super busy with emergency call-outs.

We noticed a leak anfter a test run last week and have booked plumber to check whole system.

My heating is on, but the thermostat is only on 15 degrees. My home is very well insulated and I live in the south. It can be turned up to about 17 when it gets much colder and if it gets below freezing during the daytime it might possibly have to go up to 20.

It’s great being able to sleep without waking up sweaty during the night.

I think people who think that are the same ones that pop up chastising others and don't have a clue about the struggles some people go through. They pick and choose examples about scroungers, the disabled etc all based on their artogance and lack of empathy for the less fortunate. However it is Sunday so will leave it to that as they will pop up any minute again to defend their less than caring behaviour

There are two schools of thought though. One tells you is more efficient to keep it at constant temperature all the time, the other to put it on a bit in the morning and a bit in the eve or just when the house needs to warm up a bit. Nobody ever gives you the real facts and data as to which really will cost you less but still giving you sufficient comfort and warmth

I kept my dd same over the summer months to build a bit of contingency over the wi ter months as can't stand the cold and last year my bills were three times as much as were before. Even with the goverment support that was not good and so far this year they have not said anything so I assume tjere will be no support even though nothing really changed as prices have stayed the same.
