Re: How Many Litres of Heating Oil....

Just had the tank filled there, turned out it was just under 700 litres. I have the thermostat set to 14 during the daytime between Monday and Friday (no one home), so that's probably where the difference is coming from?

I think he means 14C, which = about 58F.

I knew that! I would freeze with it on 14c/58f - I have it down on 55f when I go to bed!

What is it during the daytime and doesn't it take a long time to warm up in the morning to your preferred daytime temp.

Ours is at 18 c at night and 20 c during the day...there is usually somebody always here. The AC is set for 26 c in the summer...
