yes this happens, some office buildings have the heating off at weekends are and take all day Monday to heat up again!
I have read somewhere that heating should not be turned off completely in cold weather, lower the temperature so it does not run so often but will use less energy to heat up when you turn the thermostat back up again.
That's what we do anyway, helps prevent damp / condensation too.

The heating has been on since 12, and yet the house has still got a chill to it. I recall this happening before during the cold weather when I had to evacuate our house (different one) owing to wiring faults.
It took around two days to get the cold "out of the bricks" and get the house "proper" warm again.
Anyone experience this phenomenen before?
Not to worry, I have installed Glenlivet central heating.

Yes, no worries. I rented a 4-storey Victorian house with some mates for a couple of years. It was empty for about a week one Christmas and it took about 2 days to get properly warm again.

I knew exactly what to do, googe it a bit then post on here.
RichardCranium explained how to thaw a pipe, and I followed his instructions. Good job.
