Excessive heater run times increasing bills is typically a myth (only exception is heat pumps that kick on resistance heater backup). Lowering the temp at night and while you're away will net you more savings. A cooler house = less heat loss. When your heaters are on, they are at 100% efficiency, so you don't even have cycling losses as some of the people with forced air have. Try setting it back when you're gone and I bet you'll see some decent savings.
