Still haven’t put the heating on even though it’s November. It’s still getting up to like 15C during the day here rn and not going below 11-12C at night so with the insulation we installed 10 years ago the latent heat from PCs, cooking, showers etc seems to keep the place topped up just enough. Helps that we WFH. Occasionally it gets slightly chilly (drops to about 19-20C in the house) but just put a PC on and you’re good 😄 Maybe in a week or two heating might need to be on for an hour a day

Before we insulated the place it used to need so much more active heating. Cold walls, damp, it was not great. It’s an old block house with no cavity so we decided to externally insulate it; basically wrap the house in a warm blanket. The difference in cost between thicknesses was marginal once you’d decided to do it so we went for the thickest available. Totally worth it, it’s absolutely transformed both cost and QoL (damp is totally gone). The walls now act as a thermal battery
