Fanless oil heaters for now

I like the electric carpet pad heaters, but the oil heaters are almost as efficient and cost much less. I also use an electric mattress heater.

With the room heaters, I primarily heat the bedroom suite. The rest of the house is heated mostly by heat lost from the bedroom.

My electricity usage was the same last summer, but with the shade cloth, the house is about 5 degrees F cooler.

I also keep the shower water in the tub so that its heat doesn't just get flushed during the winter, then flush the toilet with it.
