Same here and I only upgraded the boiler a few years ago which wasn't cheap. If I'm cold I'll put a hoodie on but herself is straight for the heating. I fully expect to get home this evening to find the heat on and windows open at the same time. Getting the app to be able to turn it on from your phone seemed great at the time!!

No issue with heating, turn it on when I want. My house Is warm, so an hour max at a go. Have two Stanley stoves as well, so might lit them and not bother with heating. 

Now would not lit two, or the heat would be unreal.

Not about saving money, more about not wasting it. The two of us live in a 3 bed semi and she used to have the radiators on in every room and then question why I was turning some off given the boiler was on anyway. Had to explain that's not how it works other wise there would be on boiler for the whole road.

The Thing Sausy about having rads on in rooms that you are not using cuts the risk of damp , and you will get damp if they are not heated , maybe Mrs Sausy is light years ahead of you in thinking that Wink

Don't worry about the damp, plenty of fresh air going through the house every day.

Got the netatmo thing free when signed up with energia and I swear it has saved us a ball

Might look at getting the individual rad yokes as well!

Also definitely looking into a retrofit for heat pump and maybe PV panels

Yes to an extent but most houses get some kind of damp and it can be a bugger to get rid of once it gets hold . Ours is a new house ( 15 year old ) and the problem we have is that it is so well insulated we have to have two dehumidifiers running 7 months of the year at night  to take the water out of the house , we get around 3 litres of water every morning at the moment which will cut back to two in a month or so .

Jaysis. I dont have that problem. Not yet anyway! 10 year old gaff. 

I air out all rooms and there are vents everywhere so i would assume that does the trick.

How the feck do you dry the clothes then if the heating isn't on?
Only reason why I have the heating on, otherwise it would take a week for a wash to dry.

We have just bought a dryer for the first time. Much handier. Not as expensive as they used to be to run,so I hear.
