Getting the jumpers out of cupboards.
Aye, but you're in Norfolk.Come on then, own up!
Who has the central heating switched on already?
We haven't yet, not until the clocks go back
He he, well it's always 6`c cooler in Scotland isn't it?Aye, but you're in Norfolk.
We have ours set to come on at 12C 1st thing in the morning and at TV watching time
It's been on twice since August.
Apparently it snowed in Leeds today ..... winter is coming......I fired mine up today, to check it was all OK, ready for when the blizzards hit this winter

Agreed and mines the same, but I overrode ( turned up) the setting as the weather is set to turn colder, as a check.if the temperature drops the modern miracle of the THERMOSTAT will turn the heating on when it gets too cold inside.
Isn't that known as the frozen North way up there?Apparently it snowed in Leeds today ..... winter is coming......
You don't pay a fee for hive....Thats pretty much what we do. Heating is 'on' all the time, just trip the thermostat to initiate heat sequence
Never seen the benefit if HIVE, why pay a fee for something you can do yourself?
Leeds might like to think it is North but it's not when you live in County Durham, Tyne & Wear or Northumberland....... or ScotlandAgreed and mines the same, but I overrode ( turned up) the setting as the weather is set to turn colder, as a check.
I didn't want to get caught out in a "few days"

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. I've seen it advertised for £x per month.You don't pay a fee for hive....
I've got lights on hive too.
Its great. A lot better than faffing with timers etc...
My daughter lives in Shetland now.Leeds might like to think it is North but it's not when you live in County Durham, Tyne & Wear or Northumberland....... or Scotland
Like all cloud & internet services, they are great until they go down. Wasn't there an outage last year which left Hive households without heating? I have TRVs on radiators & wireless 7 day programmable thermostats for each heating zone, they require no attention apart from renewing batteries every few years.You don't pay a fee for hive....

Hive has a controller as well.Like all cloud & internet services, they are great until they go down. Wasn't there an outage last year which left Hive households without heating?

Yeah, that was a purchase package. Pay monthly over 24 months.Ah sorry, I misunderstood. I've seen it advertised for £x per month.
The monitoring system is Boiler IQ, which works in association with hive.I've got one of those Hive things, it monitors the boiler and supposedly alerts BG should it fail or look like it might..
Got it free as part of the beta trial before it was launched nationally, I had to install it because the gas fitter didn't know how.
Fair enough though, I was a telecomms engineer and wouldn't have a clue about fixing a boiler
You should get one installed.when we had ours installed the plumber decided to pocket the thermostat/remote thieving t*** so its a case of if its feeling cold and switching it on as needed

It's good you got it free.
It's £110 now, inc 5 years monitoring.
