I usually keep the thermostats at 64 at night and 68 during the day. I kept them atb 70 for 24 hours and the boiler seemed to run better. Is this in my head or did this really help ?

Other than a harder burn in the AM when your heating the house up 4 degrees really can't see why it'd help much. Keep ours at 72 during the day and 68 at night. A compromise between what the wife would like and what doesn't kill me even though I still have to take all my warm clothes off when I come in for any amount of time, IE long johns and sweat shirt.

I agree, the kids love the hot house but I don't know if I can take steady diet of the heat.

Well that and the warmer you keep the house, the harder it is to get used to the outside. I have a friend that's a dairy farmer, even though his wife lets him wear pants they are really hers in the family, she keeps their house in the upper 70's to 80, even my wife doesn't like to go their in the winter.

I've become acclimated to my warm house.  I freeze at other peoples' houses.  We are at 74 during the day.  I'm luck that I have my own thermostat in my office at work.  Co-workers walk into my office and are like "Shew!!  Plenty warm in here!"
