    21-22 here in the day but I don't have it on all day. I'll put on for an hour or so then turn off then when gets cold again put on again. Off at night, lots blankets and Df puts it back on early am

    Ours is on somewhere bw 18 and 21 when we are up in the evening. Off overnight. Our place gets down to about 5 deg inside on the cold nights.

    This is the first winter we've had ducted heating. So far it's been off during the day but left on overnight at 19. If it wasn't for Moo I'd be happy to leave it off at night but his room gets sooo cold!

    Depends. We normally have it on 20ish during the day. I tend to crank it first thing in the morning and turn it down low (about 12-15) for most of the day. Because I have cranked it in the morning it stays warm till about 3 or so then I put it to 20, then about 5 I crank it till about 7 and then it gets turned to about 15 till we go to bed and then 10 over night. We're weirdo's obviously... And probably wasting gas or something LOL.

    22 during the day and off overnight although thinking we may have to start leaving it on overnight at about 16 or so if the cold weather keeps up

    lol We don't even own one. At all.

    When it gets chilly we light a candle in the bedroom and put the elements on the gas stove on for a few hours. Takes the chill out of the air nicely.
    It is actually amazing how even one candle can heat a bedroom.

    i miss our ducted heating! we use to put it on 25 for half hour then turn it down once the house was warm, df was always telling me off for not tuning it down. we have a gas log fire in the lounge here while its great at heating the lounge/kitchen the bathroom is warmer then my bedroom!!

    Lol I been whinging for days it's cold but yet to put heater on. Cheaper to put on a jumper. When the jumpers not working it will go on.

    We don't have ducted just a gas wall heater.

    18 in the day, 16 at night and we all wear warm clothes & socks all day long.....need to find a good supply of wood for the wood heater. Any recommendations in the Eltham area?

    It used to be on 18/19 from memory, day and night.

    Now we don't have ducted heating, well we do but its gas so it costs a bomb to run and we refuse to use it, we use blankets and layer up. I sure miss normal ducted heating.
