That's exactly what I do-I keep house heating on 24 hrs at about +20.( Not yet but I guess soon.)House is nice and warm and it's cheaper this way as well.And it keeps temps in tort enclosure more stable at winter.
I don't keep additional heat lamp but I put my existing one lower to basking spot (if that makes sense.)when heat need increased.

Ed has helped me as well to get things work and it has worked for my tort perfectly.He knows his stuff and I've learned a lot from him.
