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...

Could you just run the fan on the heating unit to circulate the air or would that draw to much energy?
