Here I am, starting another thread in the Around the House forum.
I'm looking for recommendations for space heaters. I only experienced about a week's worth of winter here in KC and my electricity consumption was insanely high. This time, I want to cut it down a bit, but I don't want to be miserable.
I was thinking about buying this oil-filled heater and setting it to turn on an hour or two before I wake up every morning, so that I don't dread getting out of bed. I would then use it in the office during the day. I personally like it because it doesn't blow hot air in my face and it doesn't make a peep, but my plan has been met with resistance. My mom and DH say it takes a long time for oil-filled heaters to get hot. I get that, but I think that's something I can live with, especially since this model comes with a 24-hour programmable timer. Am I going to be sorely disappointed?
And while I'm at it, what temperature do you keep your house at during the fall and winter?
