Default How warm is your house?
What heat is your thermostat on most?
mines 20 - 23 if it's on.

I very rarely have my heating on if I can help it....not because I'm tight (honest) but I don't like the dry heat....if I have it on, it's for an hour to melt the ice off the inside of the windows

..if it get really cold then I usually just put it on for an hour in the morning and the same in the evening but usually not until around late November/early December...unless one of us are coming down with something and have a chill, it may go on for a while but we usually just wrap in throws/blankets....

Yeah if you have it on low it doesn't have to heat all the way up from cold so it doesn't use as much...

I sometimes have to open all the windows to cool the house down a bit before Dave gets home.. So he doesn't know I've had the heating on full for like 8 hours

Remember my mum and dad having thermostat wars... he would put it on 18 and she would crank it to 25 when he wasn't looking.
