    I have ours set at 23. I think that's a bit naughty though probably a bit too high. We turn it off overnight but leave the coonara going on cold nights.

    We have ours on 21.5 mostly and bumped the overnight up to 18 because the girls room is on the south side and is 2 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. We don't really need it on during they day if it's sunny as it heats up the house just nicely. I dread our bill though.

    Wow, we are so tight@rse! We keep ours at 18 degrees during the day (I sneak it up to 19 degrees when I'm in the shower so it's nice and warm when I get out ) and leave it off at night. We just dress warmly around the house

    I have tried to keep it on 20 degrees during the day but the air temp is cool so I usually run it on 21. That one degree makes suck a huge difference.

    Glad Im not the only one that leaves mine overnight...

    Set to 20 o/night.
    Turned off at about 10am when the house warms up a bit.
    When we got up this morning at 6am- we even put on our split system as well for instant warmth.... freezing in Melbourne.

    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.
