When do you put on the heat?

Woke up the other morning, looked at the clock in our bedroom with a temp gauge on it and it read 59 degrees. Thank god for the heated mattress pad we were given as a house warming gift.

bumped it on thurs for short time and every day since.turned it way down at nite and when it was on and we were leaving house turned way down.alot of years ago during oil shortage had a coal stove and also bought a dryer vent.cut dryer vent hose and attached a closeable vent in line.opened to try and heat basement where dryer was.so raven it did use to heat part of basement but big downside was air was moist and you got mold.so removed and got new dryer line.
