Nope my basement is heated. temperatures range from 17 - 21 down here depending on if the woodstove is lit. lost heat from the heater just goes towards heating the house. my regular heating is woodstove and the Heatpump so the heat from the heater is just less efficient then my regular heat sources.

Next peak just happened. 5 hours 15 minutes between this time everyone is home now so I doubt we'll be getting to almost 7:00 without using hot water.
