Central heating in winter

Post by kancutlawns »

With fuel bills the way they are, do you find you have to find a balance between rationing it’s usage against the need to keep warm? As I work from home and everyone else goes out, I put it on from 7.00 to 8.30 in the morning then put myself in a small room for the day with a small oil heater. Then whack it on again from 6.00 - 8.30 in the evening when the house gets lovely and toasty.

9.00-10.30 and then 1700-2000 on weekends.

Christmas week with everyone at home, have whacked it on 9.30-11.00.

I run in the morning so can forgo heating during the daytime.
