Not a conundrum at all for me, I have this fabulous device called a "thermostat" which switches the central heating on when it's needed.

The sidescreens have to be done manually, of course, but I do it on an as needed basis rather than a date.

I'm with you Ian. Home heating and cooling use when we feel it's required, same with side screens and hood. Irrespective of time of year.
I once worked with a Yorkshire man, who would only allow heating in winter and it wasn't because he was hard, more the case he was tight.
