Heating
This is an old building with some parts cooler than others. There is underfloor heating in each bedroom downstairs, underfloor heating with thermostat in the kitchen area and the rest of the house is heated by radiators controlled by a thermostat at the top of the stairs. Feel free to adjust the heating accordingly, but please be mindful of the environment and don’t waste energy.
The thermostats have been pre-set. These can be altered to suit your comfort by following the instructions in the images below (instruction cards can also be found with other appliance manuals in the top drawer near the fridge).
