"Doe John" wrote in message ... At what temperature do people start to turn on their central heating? I normally wait til end of October when the daytime temp indoors is around 55 degrees. Now it is around 57 degrees indoors in the morning.Very cold. Catching colds constantly. I thought of turning it on a week ago when my cat would constanty climb on top of me because I was the best source of heat. I'm a walking elecrric blanket to her.Feels colder now than in the past since I lost about 40 pounds since last May. Myself, I don't have central heating as such, but I light my fires when I feel cold. I don't think it's necessary to wait for a certain temperature - and why would you? If you feel cold, put your central heating on. That's my advice, anyway ;-) Don't be cold. It definitely can compromise your immune system and you'll get colds and chest infections. So put your heating on tonight, please. Promise? To h*ll with the expense. Tweed |

The cats have a higher body temperature and would prefer it warmer. In fact sleeping close to the dog starts to look like a good option to them. My health isn't good and I just don't find it worthwhile to be too uncomfortable. When the central heat is on a lot I do have to make sure the humidity doesn't go too low. But that isn't a problem most places. Jo |

Well, I don't have central heating, I have space heaters in each room, which has both advantages and drawbacks. The advantage is that I only need to heat the room I'm in, rather than spending the money to heat the entire apartment. At night, I close the bedroom door most of the way, putting a doorstop under the door to keep it open just wide enough to allow feline ingress and egress. The downside is that the heaters have no thermostat, so they just keep on pumping out hot air no matter how hot the room gets. So if it's cold at night, but warm in the morning, the room can get very hot. On the other hand, with the bedroom being the only warm place in the house, I'm guaranteed to have 3 fluffy bodies sharing the bed with me. I don't know why you lost weight - I hope it wasn't because you've been ill. (Though if it is from illness, that might explain why you're catching a lot of colds.) My own experience with weight loss - usually voluntary - is that I would catch a *lot* of colds while dieting. I think the sudden deprivation is a shock to the body, and can compromise your immune system a bit. Joyce |

I never turn my heat off. When it gets warm in the spring it just doesn't
run any more. I know the past few weeks the heat has come on overnight as the radiators are warm in the morning. You need to think about your comfort. If you are cold in your home it is time to turn the heat on. Ann "Doe John" wrote in message ... At what temperature do people start to turn on their central heating?
