What kind of attitude is this? What you do is put on a sweater and have a cup of tea. Young people these days...

Nope. It’s still ok here, still leave windows open at night.

Nope, it's usually about November when ours goes on.

Our new build home with this much sun is still warm most of the time. The heating app is showing that the house easily stays above 22° even through the night currently. The thermostat is left unchanged year round to come on when house internal day time temp goes below 18. The Mrs has started using her heated blanket before bed though.

If you're further north in a poorly insulated property then I imagine the heating is going to be needed soon.

I have but I'm like "nah it's not even Autumn yet" and electricity bills ain't getting any lower

Yup, because I refuse to live in a cold house and enjoy the feeling of warmth so much.

I'll make sacrifices elsewhere if I need to, feeling permenantly cold won't be one of them.

No. Because it's spring here.

Wait. UK? Were you all just having a heat wave?

Cold in the morning?! Do you shower in a shack, or something with similarly awful drafts???

I've been tempted, the thermostat is showing very low temperatures and it's in one of the warmer rooms of the house. Having a shitty rental with a poor EPC rating will do that unfortunately. Just had the mini heater on this morning to bring the room up to 18°C, trying to leave the central heating for at least another month.

Octopus Energy are having a free hour of electricity today, so I turned the heat pump and electric heater on just now. It got down to 19.5 in the morning, which is far too cold for me...

Yeah, it's 13c outside now. I'm gonna start moving the plants in for fall, and today was the first day I really needed to wear extra layers. I miss summer....

Well, we're probably going to start using the fireplace again soon, but it's bearable for the time being.

Huh, here in Texas, we typically just have a thermostat.

If the house goes over the temp we set, air conditioning comes on. If it goes under, heat comes on.

If you want to save money, you set a wider range of acceptable temps.

So if you don't care about saving money, you will put it at 68 to 72. Or whatever your ideal is, and if you want to save some $ you set it to 60 to 78.

And then your house is 78 for 80% of the year.
