Hi,
This question is related to a 5 bedroom property, with a radiator in each room. Whereby heating is turned on/off in bursts of 2 hours (2 hours on, 2 hours off). 3 rooms are used constantly and 2 (smaller) are not. Assume the house is well insulated.
A DIY family member believes that heating the whole house is the better option, however I am under the impression that turning the radiators off in the 2 rooms makes more sense. DIY family member argues that in the 2 hours off period the house will cool down much slower if the whole house has been heated. I however argue the cost implications outweigh the probably negligible slower cool down?
Views on this?
As an additional question would leaving the doors of those 2 (smaller) rooms open/closed make an impact?
Hope that makes sense.
Many thanks.
