This is our first year here. Keeping the finished basement and main floor at 65 at all times. Heat on the second floor only kicks on in the morning for a couple hours - we like to sleep cold with just electric blankets, but it's hard to get out of bed so it toasts up just long enough to get us out of bed and ready for the day before going back off again. Heat rising from the other two floors seems to keep it livable otherwise.

When it drops below 40 outside we use the woodstove to help out, which cranks the heat inside to like 72 which is amazing. I'd use it full-time, but I'm still trying to figure out how much wood we use and ensure that we'll have enough to get us through the whole season.
