Hello, What is the opinion of people as to leaving the central heating on 24 hours a day as against the following? Mon,Tues Wed Thur Frid 8:00am to 12:00noon 5:30pm to 11:30pm Sat Sun 8:00 to 12midnight
The heating is Jemplair gas warm air heating and if it is left on all night my hubby complains that it is too warm so either turns it off or turns down the thermostat, which prevents it coming on at 8:am. The timer is only a simple 7 day 24 hour timer so it has to be manually switched on at the weekend when it turns off at noon and then the timer has to be switched off again at night back to automatic. This has caused numerous arguments over the years and of course now hubby is on an energy saving kick, he even bought an LCD monitor to save energy(so he says).
So what are peoples suggestions as to the energy savings made by switching the heating on and off or leaving it on all the time? Tracy
