I'm of the opinion it doesn't cost much more to keep a house warm, as long as you are not wanting high background temperatures. Subject of course to insulation quality and heating efficiencies.
I look after a public building which is only used for small parts of the week, and heating is one of the biggest management issues, if you want comfort when it is used. Always best if it is heated early, rather than try and get maximum heat into the building in a short time frame ahead of use, even if the temperature is not up to the working temperature in use. The difference in having heat in the fabric of the building, compared to hot air and a cold building, is poles apart for comfort.
