when should you put the heating on

The heating should generally be put on once indoor temperatures start to drop below around 64°F (18°C), or when outdoor temperatures consistently fall below about 15°C (59°F). Many experts and sources suggest turning on the heating in early to mid-October or when you start to feel cold indoors. Vulnerable groups such as the elderly, young children, or those with medical conditions may benefit from turning it on earlier to maintain a warmer indoor environment. Programmable thermostats can help efficiently manage heating during the transition season. Keeping the thermostat set between 18°C and 21°C (64°F to 70°F) is often recommended for comfort and health.
