I've been experimenting with using the sun to heat my apartment recently. I'm lucky/unlucky that my apartment faces east, so for the first half of the day I get a good bit of sunlight in through the wall of windows in my living room. I turn the heat way down during the day, knowing full well that the sun coming in gets it to nearly 80F by 11AM-12PM and then I try to circulate that air into my bedroom while I'm out to hopefully get my room equally warm so I don't have to turn the heat up during the evening either. I have yet to get a Killawatt (though it's on the list) and I don't use electric blankets, but it's good to know what an electric blanket uses, I was considering getting one of those to substitute for running the heat, but it may turn out that the heater uses less power in reality...
