17° is too cold for me. I think I had it drop to 18° before I turned on the heat this season and I regretted being too stingy and not turning it on earlier.

I don't have a thermometer, so I don't know the room temperature. I only heat if I can't survive any other way.

It entirely depends on the average humidity in your room. If you reach dew point at 17C you should certainly stay above, if not, well, it's up to you. I have to keep all rooms at 20C here because else mold will start molding.

>>17434 If your dew point is 17° and the room is 20°, you live in >80% humidity. What a nightmare.

>>17435 Close to the woods, constant rain, badly built house, which leads to having cold corners (<10C) in some rooms. I would actually have to heat even more, but 20C is the maximum room temperature I am willing to tolerate. Personally I would feel comfortable at 17-18, but then it would not just be a cold corner, but an entirely cold wall.

I don't have a heater. I just put on warmer clothes or blankets.

Until last year an old granny lived below me and she probably kept her room temperature at around 38°C during winter. My floor was warm and I didn’t have to heat. Now she’s living in a retirement home, and some younger people have moved into her old flat. Now it’s cold, and I have to heat. ;_;

I never heat in my current apartment building, my Bünzli neighbours overheat so much it never drops below 18 degrees.

Bernd keeps every room at 23°C. Why should Bernd voluntarily freeze when he has a heating system at his disposal? We live in a modern country, so no one has to freeze. And if anyone thinks that costs a lot of money, there are people who waste all their money on cigarettes and beer. So Bernd can just heat his home and get more out of it than if he drinks or smokes.

>>17442 Is it possible to calculate how much it costs for me to run one specific heater in my living room?

>>17450 Yes.

>>17451 How? Okay, I could find out what I pay for heating, but how do I break it down to that one specific heater?

>>17430 I used to do it only below 0°C outside, but I don't get my Nebenkostenabrechnung, so now I'm heating, when I feel cold and don't give a fuck.

I have district heating with a target temperature of 24C. The heating is basically free because it utilizes all kinds of industrial heat and stuff. Factories, power plants, server rooms etc. need cooling and the heat from those places is transferred to homes to heat them. You basically only pay for the infrastructure.

Dont wait till last second. Run system to make sure it works at least

I rather have a hot shower and put on thick clothes. If the temperature is about 18°C with my computer running, I will turn on the heater.

Why turn on or off the heating. Why not have a thermostate and just put it to the temperature Bernd wants. It will just work on it's own and keep the desired temperature regardless of any circumstances.

>>17455 same here the only problem is those 2 weeks in autumn and 2 weeks in spring when heating is still off or already off, and you get +12 C at home

I like 22-23 degrees. During the Putin gas shortage, I wore a fleece jacket and reduced the temperature to 19-20 degrees. The temperature at wörk is still reduced due to the bad economic situation or whatever and I don't like that at all. Need to get back to wearing extra warm underwear, thinking of it. That feels slightly unpleasant as well, but better than cold.

>>17919 I am in fact incredibly German, Waldemar-Özcan

>Turn heaters In Soviet Russia heaters turn you

Depends on the room. I starting in late October/early november I usually heat up the bathroom because I hate coming out of the shower when it's too cold. Bedroom only gets heat when it's freezing outside. My apartment is on the ground floor so cold seeps in through the ground.

>>17960 I love a cold bedroom with thick, warm blankets. t. warm living room enjoyer
