I bow down to the God Thermostat. Now, living in a more sane climate, we heat the house with a DeLonghi Oil-filled electric heater and a couple of small fans to blow the hot air around as the winter temps usually stay just above freezing. Usually. As long as there is no major earth quake we never lose power. The cat has pulled her cushion next to the heater and has settled in for the winter.

I have a couple of these heaters too - we have a gas furnace for the house - but when the price of gas skyrocketed a couple of years back we bought the DeLonghi heaters and oscillating tower fans so we could lower the thermostat and decrease our use of the furnace.
When we roll them out in the fall, the cats begin scuffling to sleep on the side of the heater away from the fan! They've really made a difference in our gas bills in the winter.
