Sounds like they haven't all adjusted to a 'parents no longer pay the bills' mindset.

they really haven't, i felt for the carpet fitter last year, I'd  never seen anyone sweat so bad, and I had turned the heating off an hour earlier.

In this cold weather, do you leave your central heating on low, throughout the night and at what temperature? 

Im extremely lucky to live in a very well insulated home when im alone i will wear a tracky top and close all the doors and i only really need to turn on the heating when the outside temperature hits zero

 

And when i do turn on the heating i blast it for 15mins and it keeps the place warm for hours

 

However, my partner is always freezing and she turns on the heating in the summer.....its like living in the Amazon rain forest

 

Women are always cold so if you want to save a fortune on rising fuel costs then be a bachelor 👍

A good read about keen science students but, sadly, it uses more power to extract the hydrogen than the generator produces.

Could still be worthwhile if using scavenged batteries for that power source.

that's a shame.

I was about to start extracting and save the other stuff, although how many gallons i'd need to collect to run the welder would probably mean me starting drinking again    🍺 🍺 .

Our house is smart thermostat controlled. We set a temp and it comes on and off as needed. The house is geo-fenced so if we're out then it won't come on if it drops below the preset unless we come within the geo-fence radius. 

Overnight (2200-0530) it's set to 12°c though looking at the app over this winter so far the house hasn't dropped below 17°c.

It means the heating app looks for his phone, if it's not in the house it doesn't turn the heat on.

Pretty much this.

 

Basically the system tracks mine or my partner's location via the phone app. 

 

If myself or my partner move within the set radius distance then the system will turn on (if required) and if we're not within the radius it won't turn the heating on, even if it drops below the preset temp. 

 

It means that the heating won't be active when it's not needed. 

 

Saved us over £150 in gas last winter.

Maybe on minimum sometimes, only because I have 16 months old
