    You may not use the space, but you likely have water lines that can’t handle freezing temps, and other electronics/appliances that assume living space (non condensing humidity being important)

    Now, setting your thermostat lower and only heating the room you’re in? Maybe. Whole house systems are damn efficient, so if you’re moving around the house with the heater, that’s a no go, but if you hang out in one closed door room, it’s an experiment you might want to try.

    Expect the bathroom to be colder than you’d like if you’ve spent the day in your bedroom/office.

      I actually think its really good for sleep too for it to be a bit hibernation-level chilly in an ambient sense.
