Turning the heater off will save leccy. It will also reduce yield.
Which will give the lowest growing cost per gram, leccy used for heating or an unheated grow?
1 light + 1 heater vs twice the space used, 2 lights + no heaters.

Box in the heater & run a duct to the intake, this way all the heat gets drawn into the tent & not the lung room.
Exhaust from the bottom of the tent so air is drawn in from the top, so it draws the heat off the lights & over the plants.
If you recirculate the exhaust air back into the lung room I’d image you’ll have a nightmare with humidity levels.

I run a passive intake, but the window in the lung room is usually open, except if it's very cold.
Growing seems to be about compromise imo. Unless you have the space and funds to get everything perfect then it's usually about weighing up the pros and cons of the details and seeing what works best for you.

Have you figured out a solution yet?
I used a really cool heater this winter that was both cheap to run and safe. Check out Amaze Heaters. I couldn't be more happy with mine. It does seem to be on the dry side which I combated with leaving an open metal coffee can with h2o in it sitting on the floor in front of it.

I kind of had the solution there all along I just couldn't tap into it. First was I had a half arsed job of insulating the lung room with tent inside. I put R5 rated ceiling insulation in and did the walls that made a HUGE difference. Not just the obvious of keeping it warm or cooler but the fact you can dial in your equipment a lot easier and see results easier also. I have a temp sensor inside of tent and one completly outside tent and room altogether.
Getting 8 degrees outside sometimes with 85+ rh
inside tent would be 22 ° with 54rh
Also been able to set the heater on timer and not have on all time. I've left PC fan above heater 50mm off ceiling that pushes hot air through duct to bottom of tent . Having exhaust fan on helps this small PC fan.
Someone suggested putting exhaust fan at bottom and hot air come in at top which I think is brilliant idea just haven't got round to it but will before the girls start filling out.
My dehumidifier has been stood down as this setup is working well. It'll probably come alive when I've gotta get 30-45rh
On a side note if anyone following my other thread I had a few pH issues. I now reckon it was due to me chopping leaves off every day for 3 weeks straight
