    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.

    Dunno if having a wood fire is a bonus or a pain in the butt ><;

    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.

    20 when it is on, I've been turning it off at night, only turning it on in the afternoons. I've got gas heating. Ask me again in a few weeks when it gets colder

    A couple of times I've left it on overnight accidentally, I've woken up dehydrated, so would rather snuggle under bedding & actually wear clothes to bed than have the heating on.

    Omg I would Swealter with anything over 14 at night! We have on 18 during the day and off at night. We have a log fire as well though and have free wood. It is a much more natural heat though.

    I think I may have to leave ours on overnight tonight, I don't usually do it but it's freezing here! Apparently it's only going to reach 5 degrees tomorrow!
