The research, which was conducted by YouGov on behalf of energy efficiency advisers TheGreenAge, found that the disagreement about the control of the central heating is actually the top household argument among couples
More than 2,000 adults were polled and it was discovered that 24% of couples have argued over the central heating in the home, with woman more likely to increase the temperature, while men prefer to have a colder house. Other falling outs include the temperature, switching the heat on during the winter period and how long it should be left on for each day.
Of the female participants, 44% claimed they had switched the heating on when their other half wasn't looking, with 39% saying they had increased the temperature. This compares with 42% of men who said they turned the temperature down without consulting their partner with 38% deciding to turn the heat off altogether.
According to experts, it is said that a woman's skin sensors are twice as sensitive as men's, meaning they are more likely to detect smaller changes in temperature. Women's bodies are also quicker to direct blood away from the hands and feet and inwards toward the vital organs when it gets cold. Subsequently, this lack of blood in the hands and feet makes women feel even colder. Furthermore, females also take longer to warm up again when the heating is once again turned back up.
Mike Tipton, of Portsmouth University, is quoted as saying: "The drive to maintain a stable, warm, environment is very strong in humans.
"However, men and women have a very different physiology and perception when it comes to temperature.
"Women feel the cold more and are driven to take immediate action, whilst men are generally less sensitive to the cold and are driven to take immediate action.
"Men are generally less sensitive to the cold and therefore consider other factors such as the financial implications of heating the home."
