The temperatures have nosedived pretty quickly for us and most of our house has dropped to about 20C and it’s definitely starting to feel a bit on the chilly side. 

We usually flick the heating on manually in October, but I know a lot of you have systems that tick along all year and just kick in automatically with weather comp.

So… who’s given in and turned the heating on already? Whose has come on by itself? And who’s holding out for as long as humanly possible?

We’ll be firing ours up soon ahead of schedule because we need to give it a run ahead of a big system overhaul next week (I’ll share more on that soon). That's right, we've finally succumbed to sort out the mess that is our heat pump installation.

How about everyone else? Heating on, off or still pretending it’s summer?

It was 7C here last night and the Ecodan kicked in at 0700 and ran for an hour and then went back to sleep. Mitsubishi room stat was set to 17C and I don't think that condition was met, but on it came and the house temps had the edge taken off nicely!  Don't know if that qualifies as the "heating on" as I just leave it with a low set temperature to do its own thing.

@abernyte Our heating has come on twice in the last week; around 05:00 for approx. an hour on both occasions. Regards, Toodles.
