Only 4 weeks if there are several below zero days in a month. We have a highly efficient, computerized, 9 zone system that employs 80% radiant heat for tile & hardwood floors along with 20% baseboard heat for a few carpeted areas.

We do have an efficient woodstove, but seldom light a fire anymore because it discolors the tall ceilings and makes some rooms suffocatingly hot.

People struggling with such significantly higher prices for everything are going to suffer this winter!
