My heating is generally on, but controlled by a wireless thermostat at a constant 22 and all my rads have individual stats set at various points between one and five. I'll level with you - I have very little idea whether this set up is economical or ecologically sound, but I am warm right now and we don't roast in the summer.

Same here; I've made a schedule and put it in the thermostat. It fluctuates during the day and in different parts. For example, in the evening it's 22.5 degrees. In the morning its 20.

Usually have it on 26 when it is on.



Having one of these put in now, for novelty really. Not convinced it's cheaper bills. A net of logs at £4-£5 go easy in an evening.

You need to make sure you have hardwood, and regulate the airflow. Wood is way cheaper than electricity here in NZ, so I have gotten quite proficient at efficient wood burning.

I can only speak for myself but I don't enjoy wearing a lot of clothes inside my house. Jumpers and such are for work/outside activities.

Shop around. There's a place near me who flog kiln dried logs by the crate for around £100 per tonne.
Me on the other hand... My hobby is to go out walking after its been windy. Chainsaw and axe at home.
