Our latitudes probably help with that, they're in a range to do so, likely it wouldn't work as well closer to the equator than you are [of course heating is not then the issue, cooling is], or much further from the equator than my 49ish degrees ... another way to augment this is dutch type windowshades that swing up/down, leaned down from bottom of window in winter with a reflective surface they can light up and help heat So many other ways to attack home heating, though ... photovoltaic solar and/or small-scale wind powering heat exchangers - considerable capex to set it up, but once done it's permanent and pays off bigtime ... i like wood though, will always heat with it, comfortable with old evolutionary home and hearth stuff you can count on, don't want to be on anybody's grid for something so crucial, we cook on the stove too when power goes out, several times a year
