Energy Saving – Space heater or central air?

April 30th, 2010 by My Efficient Planet Leave a reply »


I am wanting to save energy this winter with my heat. At night is when we run the heater the most. However, there are only my husband and I in one room and my daughter in another. Would it be better to run a space heater (electric) in each room, rather than turn the heat on and warm up the whole house when we aren’t even in there?

Also, which way would you go, ceramic or electric space heaters?

    Try flannel sheets, thermal curtains, and just keeping the central heat on at the minimum it takes to sleep comfortably since it would take more energy to reheat the whole house in the morning anyway.
