Title: When is it alright to start putting your heating on? Post by: Josedinho on September 30, 2008, 12:10:08 AM Moved into a house with a couple of mates and they reckon we should have the heating on by now.
I'm a bit northern so 1 i am tight and 2 i don't feel the cold so have told them Novemeber. To be fair it is chilly and i don't think the house is the best at retaining heat but they plucked out the air "75% of England will have their heating on by now" Just wondered when its generally put on?

Post by: Colchester Kev on September 30, 2008, 12:12:37 AM The heating only goes on when the woman has given you 2 weeks notice in writing of the intention to switch it on ... and or when everyone in the house has a nose that runs like a tap :)

I've got the windows wide open cos it's too bloody hot +1 Then again, I sleep with the window open every night, no matter how cold it gets. Still not yet cool enough to have the heating on though, IMO. Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on?

My part of Nottingham is tropical - it will be a couple of months, at least, before I put the heating on. I'm still walking around in tee-shirt and shorts, personally. Sorry for the image that may have created. Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on?

Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on? Post by: cia260895 on September 30, 2008, 09:49:45 AM was asked to put the heating on by 2 clients last week told them that it cant go on til october 1st as thats when it is programmed to come on,The I.O.E said "but all my students are cold" i replied "let em wear a jumper then!" on bigger plant the controls are just a nightmare to try and change over to other timings so we dont do it unless they want to pay for a controls engineer to reset it all

Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on? Post by: Kev B on September 30, 2008, 10:06:21 AM Put another jumper on and use the money saved to buy into a GUKPT main event. ;) ;D

Its ok for you pensioners Ralphy baby, you get a bung from the government to help pay for your heating ;) Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on? Post by: Josedinho on October 02, 2008, 01:19:22 PM Heating went on last night while i was out. Came back and could feel the heat from the other side of the front door. Found both housemates in t-shirt and shorts.
No middle ground is there? Title: Re: When is it alright to start putting your heating on? Post by: Tonji on October 02, 2008, 06:16:37 PM its gotta drop to a minus over night before any heating goes on, I think its a law.
