39. Get a humidifier, too

Raising the humidity in the room will make it easier to heat. We use the oil filled radiator space heaters combined with a fan powered a Honeywell cool mist humidifier we bought at Home Depot or Lowe's. You fill the humidifier once a day and position it to blow moist air between the vanes of the radiator. This will raises the room humidity from its normal 20% (we live in a desert) to 50%. It takes a lot less electricity to heat a room and feels better, too.

Also, we zone off the house and only heat the rooms we use (bedroom, television room, bathroom, etc.).
