Do you use your heater (at home) strategically?

This is probably not best practice but for me personally I never have my heating on! Ouch! That sounds really stingy doesn't it? Well, my home tends to be quite warm but during the winter months it still isn't that bad. I have those storage heaters where they charge overnight and then slowly release heat throughout the next day. I much prefer dragging my heavy tog quilt off my bed and taking it to my favourite armchair in the living room and I then throw that over me. Another practice that is probably not for everyone is the fact that I don multiple layers of clothing so that's two or three jumpers and several t shirts, this seems to do the trick and I feel very comfortable and warm. Living in the UK we hardly ever receive any snow although this past weekend has been the exception. We received a lot of snowfall and it's very nice to look at and so close to Christmas as well. Anyway, never say never! I will probably use the heating but I do use it sparingly! The strategy you use though seems good and it seems like you are comfortable with it and that is fine. I obviously love to get my hands around multiple cups of hot tea, that's central heating for the fingers! Keep warm.

When it gets down to 60F about 16C in the house I start the furnace. It is set for 64F and there it stays until spring. If I'm cold I put on a sweater. If I'm too warm, I take it off.

Recently I have had my central heating on for 24 hours per day. This is certainly not economical, but with sub zero temperatures it is necessary.

We have our set to turn it down a bit at night. We have it set for 71 during the days and 68 overnight.

I use the heat only when I have to. Run it until it heats up then turn it off.

We don't have a space heater any longer. We do have some very warm blankets, though.

Up here in Spokane, Washington winter temps vary from in the twenties to below zero. My thermostat is set at 68 degrees when we are at home and 65 degrees at night and when we are gone. Lately it has been in the twenties outside but feels so much colder - I just can't get warm. The only time I feel warm is at night when I am in bed and my two large dogs sleep on the bed lol.

We don't use heaters here as we don't have such freezing temperature in DELHI.

We have the heat pump going 24/7. If the house gets too cold, the pipes could freeze plus mold could start.

My "new" digital thermostat has where you program it to come on at certain times of the day. I never set it.

During our winters we light the tile fire but that's it. If it is really cold we might start up the fan heater in the office for a while,

Never turn ours off. Keep it on but when gets too hot we turn it down. But only by like 5° lol

Seems you have about the same "normal" weather temps as we do. I have central heat and air. I keep it on 68 in the winter but I also have to keep on socks and pants.

I just leave it set around 70. We have dogs, so I couldn't turn it off when I leave. Your way will save you a lot of money.

Half the furnaces in the house here do not work. It does not really matter. We turn the heat up to maybe 66 where the wall furnaces are working when hubby gets up in the morning. We have a heated mattress pad and do not heat where our bedroom is. So, our bills are staying low.

i run mine as i need to. I rarely turn on the whole house heat.

We can program our heater, so it goes down (not off) during the night hours. We do not let it down during the day if we only go out a few hours, it is not cost efficient.

I started using our radiator heater during the day so it will be warm when we go to bed. When I have to go out I leave it on so my cat will be warm.

I use the heating, if necessary. Otherwise, I don't keep it on.
