Electric/whole room heaters

[JenBKR]

My Stars & winter has not even set in yet.. Thats a horrible amount to have to pay.. I have central heat & a/c.. Now the winter gas bill might run $100.00.. Also I have ceiling fans in each room to which I run non stop.. Dont know much about space heaters.. Make sure they cant catch anything on fire..

We are on the budget plan, which means that we pay the same amount all year. Over the summer, when the bills are only about $15, we don't pay that much, but starting about now we get the new amount and start paying into it. I've paid the $248 for two months now, and so far we have about a $300 credit. The gas companies are predicting that the cost of heat is going to skyrocket, so they raised the budget amounts to be very high.

Hubby and I just turn our heat way down and use electric blankets at night. Of course it makes you think twice if you have to get up and use "the facilities" in the middle of the night! BRRR! I don't have any experience with any heaters but I would assume an electric heater could be expensive to run. Don't know though.

I have an electric blanket and an electric bed liner that goes under the fitted sheet, so I'd be happy to use just that. We need to keep it warm enough for Ty though. I was wondering about the cost of running the electric heater too, although it might be worth it if it's less than what we are paying now!
