Hubby will be there a lot of the time as well, (total renovation/refurb) plus there are rules to observe for insurance purposes.
Anyhow, the results of our research tell us not to keep it on continuous, as it still has to flare up when it changes temperature so no energy is saved in that department. As has been said, it costs money for all the time it is on, and doesn't when it's off.

congratulations
you solved your major dilemma then!
Good luck with it all, and yeah it can't cost money if it is off is my thinking
