Mine's been on 2 or 3 times so far just to take the chill off the

We never turn ours off just let the programmable stat decide if heat
is required. Just occasionally in mid summer it'll come one first
thing in the morning and I think why? but generally if it comes on
it's about the temp when we'd be thinking about turning it on anyway.


But your house has thick walls that store the heat and can take a week to
store this heat. I've got a semi with cavity wall insulation that I can heat
up within in 1 hour from cold.
