Heating on anyone.

Postby Workingman » 20 Sep 2022, 15:41

About this time of day the temperature indoors drops to 17 °C ish. Outside it is getting down to near single figures later on at night.

I can cope with an extra layer on, for now, but much lower and the heating is going on.

Our bungalow is very well insulated so the temp gauge in the hall is currently reading 22degrees. During the day I'm still in summer wear, but the temp does drop in the evening so this week I've just added a cardigan. Hoping to keep the heating off for a few weeks yet.

This apartment (hull way), is not very well insulated. Cools very rapidly.

However I was running a fever most of last week and I'm not fixed yet, it keeps trying to come back for another bite. So, yes, heating is on. I paid enough for the place, might as well be warm.

No central heating on here at the moment, largely because the circulation pump's failed! :roll:

We put ours on for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening, yesterday and today.

It's still fairly warm here, nowhere near needing the heating yet.

I just checked my app, it's 14° at the moment, and forecast 20° tomorrow.

I try to not use the heating until almost the end of October - a sweater, socks and a rug help ;) Our temperature gauge is currently reading 22, I consider 15 to be cold with the heating required.

Mine sticks every year now. I'm, installing a new one when I install the pellet boiler.

Tips if you want to get it going yourself. Middle of the body of the pump is a sliver screw with a slot. Undo it and spin the spindle under it. Close it back up again. Pumps are usually multi floor with the pump set for the number of floors at installation. 1/2/3 floors is standard. sometimes the switch position burns out. Usually they are set on 2, switching to 3 is also worth trying. I've had both types of failure.

Up to you.

Oddly enough they are really easy to change if you have the tools. They are fitted with isolator valves on either side to make it easy to change without draining the system down.
