What temperature do you keep your living room?

[eggsarascal]

It's 19.2 in here just now, if I have a day of feeling cold it will be over 24.

On my rayburn solid fuel the oven temps usually around 250 to 300 that then pumps around all the radiators nice and toasty but does eat the logs

Variable. I leave the heating set so the house sits around 17c. If it's been sunny it will be warmer. Light the fire like tonight and its up around 24c and back down to 19c-20c by the morning

Rarely sub 20 in the morning, about 6am, when we left just now, it had peaked at 28, I aim for about 25 but I generally seem overegg it just before bedtime. It must be 35 up at the apex of the ceiling.

15 deg in the rest of the house incl the bedroom. The living room being heated with a nominal 5kW wood stove.

The wonders of modern double glazing means the living room has a full wall of glass, with a big sliding door to the outside. And yet it is easy heated!

18 max. More than that I’m too hot. Underfloor heating in the bathroom though which makes it feel warmer on your feet in the morning.

Doesn't it depend where you measure it?

 

600mm above the floor here it is 17.9, at my head height (1200mm) it is 23.3 and this is because cold air is drawn into the room and heated by the 4kW stove  2 metres away and then out via a fan to the living room or up the stairs through the open door.

 

This bad stratification is why I would like underfloor heating but that won't work without a wet system.

Constant battle to reach 20 degrees in our rather cold living room.  21 degrees is lovely.  By morning after a chilly night it is down to 13.  I need better insulation.  Only a radiator in the room, heated by the back boiler in our woodburner.  Sometimes tempted to install a second woodburner in the room, but improved insulation is probably all that is needed.

Well yes, but with blown air heating at close to ground level it seems to balance out a little. Admittedly I can notice it's warmer when I stand up. Digital thermometer now going on the floor away from the air vents.

I'm down to 21.6c now (was 23c plus earlier) and that's measured on a thermometer 10ft from the fire, 2ft off the ground. 

 

My excuse is that I like it warm after working in the cold. Or at least it used to be - I sit in a warm cab most of the time now 😄

It’s been pretty cold here recently.  Minus 8-14c.  
 

have had the log burner in all November instead of the Varmepumper.  The temp gauge in the house gets to about 20-24.  But we open the door at the top of the stairs to heat upstairs along with the air circulating system.  So I reckon it’s about 21 most of the time.  It soon cools over night though sometimes the temp gauge in the living room is down to 14c.  Soon warms up though once the burner is going.
