During this last winter we have set the central heating to "Twice" so it's off most of the day. We light the stove at around 3 p.m. and it heats not only the room it's in but also the central chimney stack which radiates heat through the rest of the house. Although it only runs for about two hours a day the room it is in is still noticably in the morning. It's a great, easy-to-use stove and throws out quite enough heat for our 1928 3-bed semi. Highly recommended.
