Well I've become super frugal at the gas bill. Our floor furnace died and no one can find the parts we need to fix it, and we don't have $7000 we were quoted for replacement costs for a new one. Electric space heaters just don't cut it.
I dont heat at all... Except for the room I am in. I have a potbellly for the living room that I fire up occasionally. But for the bedroom I use an oil filled heater. Its electric. And for a ten by fourteen room keeps it nice and toasty.
They look like this
Oil Heater LINK
They have oil inside and the heating element heats the oil... once the oil comes to temperature the heating element shuts off and the oil radiates heat for quite along time before having to turn the heating element on.
They have a tilt switch too. this one is a large one they make several sizes.
