It’s been getting colder where I live. I leave the heat on the same temperature all day and evening. However, as soon as the sun goes down, the house feels cooler. Why is this?

Even though the temperature inside the house may be the same, the temperature of uninsulated (or poorly-insulated) building components can be considerably lower. Heat from your body will radiate towards colder objects, making you feel colder.

Also, depending on the configuration of the heating system, a room may be several degrees warmer or colder in some areas than other areas.
