It all depends on how efficient is your heater. My house is 10% larger than yours and it has vaulted ceiling in the living room, so it takes even more energy to heat, during the winter, I set my house to 70 during the day and 72 at night 24/7, and the cost of running the heater (gas and electric) is ~$80-$100/month more than when I turn it off. It’s totally worth it to be able to walk around the house in shorts and t-shirt every single day of the year.

Now that we bought we found the same as you however it has to do with the way the home is facing in our case. Not much you can do about that.
