Heating comes on for about 1hr at 7:00am (17 degs) then off until 17:00 when it comes on until 22:00 and is set at either 17 or 18 degs.
BUT we now have a clearview stove in the snug (connected to the kitchen and has a door that leads upstairs) which can be isolated from the rest of the house. The stove is lit pretty much every night now and the temp in the snug is over 20 degs with the snug>kitchen and snug>upstairs doors left open.
We are def using less oil than before but are getting through some wood! Frankly I’m amazed at how good stoves are. They light quickly, put out a massive amount of heat and are way cleaner than an open fire. I would like to put one in our dining room/hall which is right in the middle of the house but will have to wait until I make some money 🙁
I’m just trying to figure out how to get more of the heat from the snug upstairs 😕
