Losos, #7054, I tend to turn heating down over night when it's needed to around 12 which is a comfortable number to sleep in. Any hotter and the body gets too hot and then you dont get a good nights sleep.

At least that way the temp in the house overnight hasn't dropped drastically which takes more time to heat up and probably more gas or other heating fuel.

Obviously, if you get really cold in the night then up the temp, but during the day I leave it on all the time set to about 18 and only turn it down a few degrees if we go out for a few hrs, because I always find as we walk back into the house, for us it's a more comfortable feeling than feeling like a sauna which you then find uncomfortable later on.

That's just how I do it, but when it's not this cold its hardly ever on.

Losos

Actually a chemical engineering friend of mine did the calcs. and it is absolutely not better to run the heating all the time - even for a day - I don't know where the heating engineers get that from. Its thermodynamically impossible. Far better to come into the house and put on some rapid convectors to get the rooms up to temperature in 15 mins while the central heating starts.

Part of the reason is that when you heat the room up the heat flows out through the walls following the temp. gradient, so any thoughts about cold walls making the room colder are nonsense - the heat is flowing in the opposite direction.

Yes find it surprising that all the doom and gloom over lost customers and possible price caps gets all the coverage yet any impact from this would be more than covered by a rising oil price and higher E&P profits - which never gets a mention! In the oil industry a profit margin rising from say $5/barrel to $25/barrel is huge, especially if you are producing 50 million barrels +

yump - do I leave the heating on ?

Do what feels best for you, never ever do what some numpty who you've never met, likely never will meet, and who (in reality) couldn't give a dam about your personal circumstances.

Anyway most heating engineers I've spoken to say it's better to run the heating all the time even when away for days, just maybe turn the thermoset down a few degrees.

Where we used to live, in the winter, I just loaded up the boiler (with coal) and ran it 24 hours a day every day!!!

Brent Crude now hitting $66. People forget this is still very important for Centrica with their E&P assets. Even a $20 rise from last year's oil prices could boost group profits by £500M+

Well I have a major problem this morning as a holder of Centrica and getting my energy from them as well...

As I have to go out for at least half the day and I am fairly committed to behaving in an environmentally friendly way, do I leave the heating on ?

If I was Mr Conn, I would put everything and the kitchen sink into the accounts and start reporting headline losses and redundancies

There is no other way of convincing current politicians to back off or stop Corbyn from nationalising the sector

ive discovered another 50 bagger..if you look at my research on Inspirit Energy INSP the takeover thread you will see the research is rock solid...i believe Centrica will buy them out for £50m plus...they bought out a similar firm for £145m a few years ago and this bioler technology is far superior..ive done all the hard work for you...price is 0.1p and market cap about £1m...and guess what Centrica announced today a new joint venture company with a norwegian firm...the name Spirit Energy!

We just want sensible regulation.
This would drive efficiency and investment and allow Centrica to make a fair return on capital invested.

It cannot be that difficult to regulate a company such as CNA.

BG put up prices 12% earlier this year - about 70GBP per customer. I doubt they were losing £20 per customer before this. Unfortunately since privatisation the utilities have pulled the wool over the eyes of the regulator and now there is little trust in their figures.

And I'm a holder too.

Making an average profit per customer of £4.17 pcm (£50 per annum) see hardly excessive. And this before any cap. Why is this not all over the news? Anyway down down down we go. Merry Christmas! For goodness sake this company needs some backbone and stick up for itself a bit.

Centrica Questions U.K. Government's Energy Price Cap FiguresSource: Dow Jones NewsBy Adam Clark Centrica PLC (CNA.LN) has claimed that the U.K. government's proposed price cap on energy could force suppliers into cutting investment and damage the roll-out of smart meters.In written evidence to parliament, published on Monday, the owner of British Gas said it was "concerned" about the government's claim that a price cap will remove 100 pounds ($133.82) from the average customer's bill.Centrica said it posts an average profit per customer of GBP50 and the cap would therefore assume suppliers recorded no profit.The company said it believes the case for the price cap has been built on the Competition and Market Authority's (CMA) estimate that customers were losing out on GBP1.40 billion in average on bills between 2012 and 2015--a figure that Centrica said has been "widely discredited" by former regulators and economists.Centrica also said the price cap risks lowering customer engagement in having a smart meter installed, and could leave suppliers unable to recover the costs of the program.The company said it opposes the introduction of a cap and proposes instead the phasing out of standard variable tariffs--more expensive pricing plans that are triggered when introductory fixed deals end.Centrica also said that if a cap is introduced, it should be subject to appeal to the CMA, and be kept under constant review.Shares are down 2.30 pence, or 1.6%, at 141.80 pence at 1422 GMT.

cap £7.87bn.
Amazing that a real and profitable company working hard to keep millions of customers happy is in trouble.
..on the same time that bitcoin is launched, no one comes close to understanding it.
