I ran it last night for about half an hour just to make sure everything was ok. Also I built a fire in the wood burner ready for a cold evening. Looking forward to the wood burner .

Nothing better getting into bed on a cold night with a hot water bottle with a nice duvet. Sleeping is much easier than the height of summer. No need of any artificial heating, even its 0 degrees outside.

Nope. Not until the clocks go back. The mornings are the worst part of the day as I prefer being too hot than too cold.

No. I refuse on principle. I was out in the garden in shorts last week.

It was 3 degrees celsius when I drove home from work on Sunday morning at about 1am, and I was momentarily taken aback by the frost warning light in the car coming on. I'm still not doing the heating though, and our house is supposed to be terribly efficient with all that sort of thing.

I put it on in the car yesterday but that was to appease my girlfriend who was cold- apparently.

Raspberry Pi, Solid state relays, home brewed software (written in Python). So far it's :
a. been in development for 2 years and not installed yet
b. cost far more than one you can buy in Maplins

On the upside though, errmmm.....

I've gone down a similar route using OpenHAB on a Pi. Savings for us come from the fact that we no longer have to decide when to switch to solar, it just does it automatically based on a series of rules I have written.

I'm in Cumbria - we've had a wood fire in the evenings for a while now..., and the heating has clicked in for a few days. Coal fire next week I suspect.

It's regularly 5 degrees cooler up here than Sussex.

Today ( thanks to this thread ) I booked a service for my boiler. Nothing better than waking up on a cold winters morning to a warm flat.

The most curious thing..
Had it on for an hour last night - also to see if it started as the pressure is low - but not since.

Boiler gets serviced on Friday

Heating on? You bunch of wusses!
I'm still in shorts and hope to stay that way until the end of October at the earliest.
