So we are now in a cold spell whatever Brigand says.

How do you plan your morning heat up of the house?

1. Do you keep the thermostat at 21/22 degrees and timer to come on say at 6.15 am but switched off overnight.

2. Do you have heating on constantly but switch it down to say 17 degrees on going to bed. In the morning raise it to 21/22 degrees.

There is a body of opinion among CH engineers that the second is more effective and cheaper because its better having a hike from 17 to 22 in the morning than a traumatic lift from say 9 degrees to 22. Also the house will heat up much quicker.

Any views?
