In the olden days of my bachelorhood when I had total and complete control of the thermostat I kept the house at 68 max in winter and 70 in the summer. It was a 1,000 sq ft house so that helped. The heater must have been sized for a 5,000 sq ft house. It would roast you in short order.
When I rented that house out I told the skinny 100 lb chick that rented it to never set the heater up more than a degree or two or you will be opening the front and back door to cool off. Sure enough she did not believe me. She got up the first morning and bumped it up to 78. The air coming out of the furthest register from the furnace would come out at 125 degrees. Withing 5 minutes she was sweating and had to open the doors just like I told her. It would heat the house up 10 degree is just a few minutes.
