[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 171697, member: 1233"] Our house is all electric, and as long as I keep the filter clean the bill has been really low. thank you finds that an electric mattress pad gets too hot, Jess loves her electric blanket (electric mattress pads make the foam mattress topper break down - just a warning), and I love mine. The really soft fleece blankets now are also very warm. They really keep body heat in. You can buy big pieces of it for under the comforter. They do work best (polar fleece, the newer super soft fleece, etc) if there is something over them. My parents have bought big pieces of polar fleece over the years and now have them as sheets int he winter. Mom sewed them up and they are WARM!! The kids all love to go snuggle with Gpa adn Gma on a cold morning when they stay over there. We will be keeping the furnace down, using more blankets and sweaters, etc... We do have to cope with the fact that my body doesn't regulate temperatures, but we generally keep the house cold. And having a newer house means we are pretty well insulated, which is the biggest savings. Susie [/QUOTE]
