[QUOTE="Mike Ioco, post: 558461, member: 54436"] This might be a dumb question, but I'll do anything to save money on heating costs this winter. Here in Michigan, our energy costs are expected to double. I have a small two story house, and the first floor where the thermostat is at, can get 5-10 degrees cooler than the upstairs, when the furnace is on. So I was thinking, is it worth it to buy a small electric heater - use it right now when it's not cold enough to have to turn on the furnace, just a little brisk on the first floor. I think it's 66 right now there. Then in the winter, if the upstairs is comfy, but the first floor is a little cool, I could kick on the electric heater to warm up the first floor a little more, without cranking up the furnace. Is it worth it to do something like that? I would think that the cost of the electricity to power the heater for a few hours, would be cheaper than running the furnace higher. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
