    Can't answer poll because I do the same as gardener-joe - lots of tweaking, in a range between about 17 and 23 depending how wimpy I'm feeling! This is partly because I can never remember from one winter to the next how to set the timer. Maybe this year I'll work out how to do it and simplify life.

    If it's on, it's at a minimum of 20C; tweak range is 20-24C. The cats don't like the cold, you see!

    We haven't had our heating on yet since last winter (except for water and granddad's room in the downstairs flat which is roasting - he's 88 so that's necessary).<br><br>I aim to keep my room at 17 during the working day - in the days of high income and low energy prices I used to try and run the house at 20-24 like vetski, but that's too expensive now and I find I can work at 17 by simply wearing warmer clothes.  But below that my fingers start to get cold and even with fingerless gloves it's painful to type, so I switch my little heater on.  So 17 for my room which is what I polled.  <span style="font-size: 13.63636302948px;">At the moment it's 19.4 without even fully closing the window - so no need.</span><br style="font-size: 13.63636302948px;"><br>But we don't run the whole house at that level, we just run the central heating 2-3 hours a day unless it's extremely cold.  Normally my room is about 13 on a cold winter's day if I didn't heat it - so I suppose we're effectively running to hit 13 and I should have polled that.<br><br>If my wife had her way it would be colder still.

    Duncan that's unusual as women due to the way their hypothalamus is programmed feel the cold more and are therefore likely to have heater on. I used to share an office with 4 girls and I was constantly fighting with them about temperature control and having the window open in the winter

    My wife claims it's because she's more active.  I point out her office room is South facing and directly above granddad's room so about 2 degrees warmer than mine ... and on we go.  Some truth to all of these points, but I think it does vary from couple to couple which one likes it hotter.<br><br><br>

    At most I turn it on around my morning shower. Hate heat. Hate it. Also, don't really understand centigrade. I wish the autumn would get colder again, the last couple of days have been far too warm.
