How warm is your house?

[emma.walker]

There is a bit of debate at home about how warm the house needs to be. What temperature does everyone else aim at? I had ours on at 19 and told everyone else to put on more clothes if they were cold.

They all just laughed and complained. Am I being unreasonable? I have to admit that I am a bit worried about paying for it all.

My daughter (who had a LD) is full of cold and wants it hotter but I feel we are making her cold worse. She also struggles to regulate her own temperature and isn’t good at letting me know if she is too hot.

I get too hot in my home put it at cold first then slowly build up you are paying for your heat and electric to have it, i also pay every month so i can keep it organised

It depends how active everyone is. I turn mine up to 22 degrees when I first get up, then after my coffee and toast, turn it down to around 19.5. I have a new Combi boiler, instant heat, much better than our old one.

We have a gas fire which I love but I have to admit I tend to fall asleep in front of it.

Otherwise the heating is on at 19 but I put it on a bit higher when it is time to get up or go to bed.

We have it on 18c/ 19c if we are home during the day and 19c/ 20c in the evening. Off at night. S easily over heats. I put on an extra layer if I’m cold or put a throw over my legs when sitting down.
