Heating!

Joey the lips

I turned my central heating on for the first time today since June or july.

No i am not a miserable git i just found the house warm. I live in a timber frame house.

Curious question: Anyone who has heating in the same position.


ps:The boiler has been working all summer on hot water mode :P

I've just taken my used teabags off the washing line for the second time this year. I'm not cheap, I just like weak tea!

Your heating was on in June?? The only bit of sumer we had and you had the heat on

Dankoozy

yea. we have no summer so why would you turn the heating off at all?

leave the heater on and pump some more CO2 and CO1 into the atmosphere in the hope of getting a summer next year

Thats interesting! I am surprised you got a long enough spell to dry them out.

carbon monoxide. the 1 is redundant and if i was writing it that way there should be a 1 after the C as well but ... ah **** it

Now this thread leads to the age-old question...

Are women cold-blooded?

ScumLord

I had electric heating but the heater blew up two years ago and haven't had any heating since. Don't even have double glaze windows.

Any one with heating and double glaze is weak.

soundsham

i got all the candles back out all right today the missus was quite happy........




.......she knows they'll be getting lit in 2 or 3 months time when it gets really cold

anniehoo

Havent had my heating on since the start of the year. Its been nippy but to be honest everytime i think of turning it on i think of the next bill ..and magically its not so cold anymore. Plus, i was the first one to move in in my apartment block 2 winters ago...so it was fairly baltic...resulting in mental heating bills. Now theyve all moved in i get the heat from upstairs,downstairs and either side..its great Im actually roasting here tonight and theres not one rad on.

pickarooney

I don't know if we even have some kind of heating system here. I've never had occasion to look for it.

mukki

i am burning old sticks in the stove, its 25c here. Its heating the rads upstairs too.

RMD

I've saved a lot more money wrapping up than turning on that heating thing. Tellin' ya, invest in a good sleeping bag to kip in around the gaff, can't go wrong.

Azureus

Im gonna have to layer up this year-moved into a new house and stupid bord gais wants400e security deposit to turn the gas on... I dont have 400e so no heating

Boo!

Overheal

Timber frame house sure but whats your other insulation look like? You need to do a full inspection.

Big problem I often see is DIY floors where they use the cheapest underlay on the market - offers zero insulation. In cold climates it leaves you f*cked and freezing. But aye when in college the best method was double layer clothes (and especially socks)

At least you live in a country where central heating is normal

Xiney

We haven't put the heating on yet - but we may need to soon. Floor was a bit cold this morning and yesterday morning.

Mint Sauce

think i have only had it on once since spring/summer started, havn't felt the need

although did notice it cold last night

Schism

The weather's still nice and warm, no need for it yet.

Now come mid December when there's ice hanging from the ceiling and there's a glacier slowly descending down the stairs then and only then will I start to think about preparing the comencement of saving up to maybe buy some oil.

lightning_saa

Well us students are great for ur CO1 emmisions, not bothering getting oil fer another few weeks yet

jenny retro

haven't had the heat on since Feb after we got our 1st ESB bill which, after 3 weeks with the storage heating on, was double what our current two-monthly ones are....

Apartments all around keepin us toasty

Little Acorn

I can't remember the last time the heat has been on in my house,
it's definitely been months and months.
The fire hasn't been lit in months either.
Ever since the whole house got double glazed,it's just not cold inside.
I will be lighting a fire and have heat on though in about december I'd say,probably up until the end of Feb or mid March.

I like being warm,but hate when you go into a house that is so overbearing with heat,that it feels stuffy and makes you tired.
A happy medium suits me. :-)

if bastard was a referece to stupidity you would be a bastard unfor I have legit parents so I am not a bastard!

additionally I never mentioned saving money i could be eco and saving the planet or as many of the posters have pointed out. I am still finding it warm.

However the money I am saving by not turning on the rads is being spent on the dryer sorting the clothes

So to conclude its not me who is the bastard I am sorry!
