Steve: I'm 1900 square feet, but I picked up a "Nest" thermostat about a year ago and have it set moderately aggressively. something like 61 overnight, 63 from 6-7 am, then back to 61. up to 67 at 3:30p till 10pm.
plus it has a motion sensor, so when I'm not around, it defaults to an "away" mode that can be as low as 54..
I can't wait to get a woodburning insert installed. The fireplace is there, but nonfunctional, and my house has a fairly open floorplan. It should heat well. The last quote I got was about $5k for prep/repair/installation, and the stove itself..
Eric, $108 is not bad at all. You may want to pop your head into the attic to check your insulation, but it sounds like you are in pretty good shape.
