Sounds like it should work and reduce that heating cost quite a bit.
It just came to me though that wouldn't help much if you had to start spending the winters there. We used to keep our thermostat at 66 degrees when we were home, then 68, then 70, now we are cold unless we keep it at least 72 degrees.
If and when we started spending winters in the place then the added cost would be just accepted as our daily living expense. In all reality the winter park rent costs more then the heat would. So in the long run we would be making money.
Who knows maybe we would upgrade the heating system to some sort of geothermal heat exchanger at that point or do the "Up North" trick of heating with wood. I am getting a little too old for heating with wood though. Cutting, splitting, stacking, and hauling is a young persons job. :W
