I think it helps but it's hard to measure as long as the outside temparatures are not comparable to last years. I follow the diagrams for Germany and right now consumers use about 30% less than the average of 2018-2021[1]. I think many people reduce their heating not just to help Ukraine etc. but also because they (we) know that it's way too expensive and we certainly weren't looking for much cost savings before. I thought I did last year (remember: already 2021 there was news that russia was not delivering as much gas as they usually do) but I'm actually on track to use like 50% less than last year. But yeah, thats just anecdata.
