Hello,
in our newly built house (built in 2016) we currently do not have a heating system and only use the wood stove in the living room (6 kW). We heat from around 4 p.m. after work until about 10 p.m. Then, when we go to bed, the temperature inside is around 21.5°C (71°F). The stove is then turned off.
In the mornings, we wake up to about 17.5°C (63°F). (Current outside temperature at night is about -1/-2°C (30/28°F))
Is this normal? It seems like a significant temperature loss to me. Our house is about 145 m² (1,560 ft²).
I remember the seller saying how long the temperature would be maintained, etc.
What are your experiences?

@garfunkel You could—if you feel like it. I know several timber house owners who have been heating without a "conventional" heating system for years. As I said, you have to be willing to keep adding wood constantly and accept that the temperature control is limited. But it definitely works and is allowed as well :P
