Reply to: Whats your thermostat set to?

I have instructed Jenkins to stoke the boiler every four hours. My contribution to lessening my carbon foot print is that I have given him a smaller shovel.

I've gone one better than switching it off.

I turned the pilot light out too.

It normally only takes 3 or 4 days to get it to relight.

That's when the frost is on the inside of the double glazing.

It's a shame we can't send light down your super efficient fibre optic cables and pipe light into homes from the sahara.

My plan B is selling self-heating thermometers.

I'm thinking of putting a 2nd thermostat in the cupboard under the stairs and rewiring the system so the original is just a dummy for the wife to switch to max when ever she walks past.

Genius or what.

Fantastic idea!

17ish with only the radiators on in the rooms I use.

Turn it down if i light the fire.

Heating still has to come on yet.

What a waste of money using the central heating. You soon get used to lower temperatures.

If the missus is cold she isn't paying enough attention to how your dinner is coming along. It should be lovely and warm in the kitchen with the oven at 200 deg.

Fiddling with your thermostat (fnarr) is all a bit pointless IMO.

Far better energy-saving by setting your boiler temperature down and control your heating on timer + TRVs. Most people have their boilers on 70-82 degs and don't know it. 55 degs does the job quite adequately for us at this time of year.

(It's quite tricky explaining this one to the missus mind)

With so many options its a wonder women manage to choose any temperature!
I've got half the women here that want it full on, the other half all want it off!

We play the yo-you game too and usually ends with me shouting 'I earn it - I burn it!' later in bed when we are not having I tend to regret it

you could bribe her with what you saved on the heating bills
