Are heating bills really a problem for them? If not, that just seems a little excessive to me. They're elderly and in their own home, and if they're feeling 18 is cold, they probably need the extra heat. Unless they really enjoy being bundled up. Maybe you could suggest putting the heating on but setting the thermostat a couple of degrees lower?
