Default central heating

right people



would it be cheaper to run the heating on all day (or on timer)
or run it as and when needed, heating the house from cold

I was wondering this!

Weather to have the heating on all day but on low, or every couple of hours on high!

But with my shitty boiler its poo anyway, been waiting for a new water pump for ageees!

My mum is convinced leaving it on all day low is less energy than turning it on and off. However, she forgets to leave it on all day so you have to turn the house from freezing to boiling which defeats the object of her study I'm sure.

There's bound to be someone on here who knows about central heating, there's an expert on nearly everything on here...
