I have purchased two ceramic heaters and an oil filled heater for use this coming winter. We have a heat pump on our unit and it eats us up in the winter time with heating bills.
The heaters that I bought all have thermostats and can be set at 750 or 1500 watts. I did use the oil filled radiant heater some last year and it seemed to help with the bills but the back rooms were cool so I bought the ceramic heaters to use this coming year.
We have a small 2 bedroom, one bath house. Less than 900 sq feet.
If you stop using the heat pump you will eliminate the operation of a pump and a fan. Both the pump and the fan use electricity. The electric heaters should be 100 percent efficient but may not give you the same type of comfort. But different comfort does not mean neccesarily less comfort. Saving money is also comforting.
The other ways to save are insulation, siding, good windows, no drafts during the winter, and the lowest comfortable setting on the t-stat. If everybody in the home dresses warmer then maybe during the day the t-stat can be kept even lower.
