I have our thermostat set to kick on at 6am at 68 degrees. Then it kicks down to 65 at 8pm
If my wife is working and the kids are at school I will open the app on my phone and drop it to 65 once everyone is gone. Then kick it back to 68 at 3 when the kids the getting home from school.
I do fire up the kerosene heater in the living room on really cold evenings. That warms the downstairs up to 70-72. I keep a “milk house” heater in the computer room. I’ll kick it on when I’m in there. That room is always cold, it was a porch that was converted into a room at some point..

I keep a small milk house heater under the desk in my shop! My feet get cold so darn easy any more. I have been thinking about getting our old kerosene heater from the loft in the shop. Our daughter was scared of it when she was a toddler so we quit using it. I still use that bulb pump that came with it for gas and it works perfectly! It's 30 years old but probably still in good shape after a cleaning. We have one of those electric fireplaces in the living room that I like too.

The kerosene heater that I use is the same heater we had when I was a kid. My dad gave it to me 10 years ago and I use it every winter. I’d say it’s 30 some years old.
It’s a kerosun in radiant 10. I have some wicks and spare parts for it.
It’s 5.50 a gallon for kerosene but it will run 12-16 hours on a gallon. It’s a great supplement heat
All in what one gets use to. Summer a temp inside of 10°-12° F below the outside temp is plenty cool. To much temp change to fast, like going ot after being in the house for an hour is hard on the body to adjust. Opposite for the winter, we hold around the 68°F day time and 9pm to 5:30 am is 62°. Probably why we get by with on 1 propane will in the winter which usually runs us up till Dec or Jan of the next year. We wear light sweat clothes in the winter in the house and get along just fine. Cold windy nights we start the wood fireplace.
