Exactly. I leave my skihouse at about 48 degrees. 15- 20 minutes later it's up to temp with forced hot air. I also don't have to worry about any frozen heating pipes. I had my fathers house freeze up when power was lost for a few days and went unnoticed. At least with air you could heat the space right back up. I had broken fhw pipes that had to be repaired before we could heat the house up again.
