If it werent for my kids I wouldnt use the heat either to be totally honest...our power bill sky rockets trying to warm the house...the interior walls are not insulated and that combined with the windows it make it hard for the heater to warm the house...we easily go from $260 a month in the Summer to $350 a month in the Winter...
