Keep in mind that your interior walls aren't insulated, so you'll lose some of your heat to other rooms, probably causing higher-than-expected usage. Along with the bursted pipes, which have already been mentioned, I'd be also concerned about interior temperature gradients and condensation, and resultant mold and mildew issues.
