If I recall correctly, global "warming" is an average and changes in temperature will increase both ways so might end up having to heat more for short period of times.

Yeah; we have our thermostat target a pretty large window. I looked at at the report for May, and it heated and cooled most days.

That doesn’t seem normal (better data now, or more fluctuations?)

Global warming is an average indeed, but moving that average for a localized area costs energy, usually in the form of carbon expenditure.
