had 2 really helpful answers from The Buider and Whoever re my question about leaving radiators on as I'm going away for six weeks during Dec/Jan. I had intended to leave three rads on freezer settings (2 in huge and very sunning sitting room and one in no sun kitchen) - I never have heat on in any of the three bedrooms. However, I realise the bathroom radiator doesn't have a thermostat and has been fitted so close to the wall it is difficult (but not impossible to adjust it) - bathroom is small btw - do I turn this bathroom one down as far as I can and leave door closed or do I leave it on it's present setting of (I estimate) medium and leave the door open. I am slightly concerned as to the cost of leaving the heating on for the entire six weeks I'm away but obviously don't want a catastrophe. My partner will be using my bungalow maybe twice a week. Also please explain if the temp of the bathroom radiator is greater than that of the other three won't it mean I have four radiators on? Sorry to be long winded.
Doc dear man do you mean turn the sitting room & kitchen rads completely off - not on the little star settings and just leave the bathroom one ticking over?
