Heating On

I've just checked and you understood me...... it's just I got it wrong :confused:
Saw Lindisfarne about 5 years ago and my memory told me his son was in the band - he did a beautiful rendition of Winter Song

It was his son in law

Ahh yes, that's his son in law, Dave.

Finny, I occasionally promote smallish music gigs. Over the years I've staged 'The Alan Hull Songbook' 6 or 7 times. This is being a night of AH penned songs performed by son in law Dave, and fellow Lindisfarne member, Ian Thomson on bass. I've also staged Lindisfarne founding member, Rod Clements many times. If Lincoln is within your striking distance I'd be happy to supply a few comps for you next time they're here, should you be interested.

Hmmmmmmmm - I live just off Steephill - so that's a yes 😂 😂
The last time I saw them was at The Drill

Would love to know about your events
 
It's really dropped in temperature this last week. We have the thermostat setpoint on the Nest for 21°C through the day when we are in and 18°C during the night.

I must be a tight get. 19c between 6am -7:30am and 5pm-7pm. 16c other times but will boost in jan/feb when needed

Are you comfortable at that temp? We just find it too cold below what we've got set now, we did have it down when the prices first rocketed, but it wasn't enjoyable.

I think health and safety say 21 degrees is the standard
 
Health and safety regs say workplaces should be 16c or 13c of a physical work environment

Our nest is always set to 9c, and an automation sets it to 9c at midnight in case we leave it in in bed. It's obv not 9c, it just prevents it coming on.

It's all personal preference, but our house is fairly well insulated - I work from home and having laptop on all day and 2 cats in the room with the door shut it's pretty warm within 30 minutes.

Overnight we prefer a heated under sheet on the bed, it's pence per hour vs cost of boiler firing up as temps drop while you're asleep.

We've got temp sensors in each room but one in the loft triggers an automation that fires the boiler up every now and then if it gets to 3c up there as the boiler is in there so keeps water moving to avoid pipe freeze. TRV's all properly configured

If we are feeling the cold we'll put the heating on but via automations that boost it for X hours rather than maintaining a temp in the house at all times. Usually a bit of time on evening on the coldest days.

Never felt uncomfortable - we have plenty of warm indoor clothes which is what they're there for.

Door sensors nag at my girlfriend when they're left open for 5 second or more as she loves nothing more than to take the bins out while the back door is open 😂

All down to personal preference though, and how much you want to spend on heating the house. I'd never sit there freezing, but also don't want to spend a fortune having a 21c house 24/7, and definitely not when im not even conscious.

What is your actual PV then if your SP is 9°C?

Our home is a new build, well classed as that I guess at around 20 years old. Well insulated and heats up very quickly & maintains temperature very well.

What do you class as indoor clothing? I wouldn't want to be sat in a coat feeling like an eskimo at the expense of not putting the heating on.

I don't sit round in a coat and gloves if that's what you mean 😂 usually a set of comfortable joggers, slippers, a T-shirt and either a hoodie or I've got a fleece lined oversized oodie which I've had for 3 years now which keeps me pretty warm, sometimes too warm.

Living room atm is 16c and it'll probably stay that way until people are in it later on at which point the presence of cats, us two and the tv / amp etc being on will warm it up in line with the chart below without the heating coming on. Doesn't feel cold at all and we are pretty cosy.

We don't have cavity wall insulation as had a bad experience last house with it. But we have windows installed in the last year and we keep the trickle vents open for airflow. All windows have plantation shutters & curtains. Loft does have insulation but getting extra put in as part of some other work on 6th Nov, but when we do put the heating on it takes some time to dissipate.

Electric under sheet uses 0.15kWh on max setting which is frankly roasting and only used to heat up the bed. On setting 1, it uses 0.02kwh.

All our friends now have them as well and probably one of the best things we've bought.

Home Assistant nerd like me then? ;)
