What are some useful heating tips for electric heating this winter?

This is my first winter living in my own apartment and I’m not sure what heating tips I should keep in mind. It is electric heat. Does it really make a difference what temp you keep it on? (such as 68 instead of 72?) Is it important to turn it off at night? etc.

You might consider keeping it set lower and using an oil filled radiator as a space heater (they are inexpensive and portable). That way, your heat won’t have to run constantly. Cooler air is supposed to be better for sleeping, too.

For more info on the radiator heaters and how we saved money last winter using them, see the Top Ten Tips to Save Energy:

    Yes, lowering it 4 degrees from 72 to 68 would noticeably lower the bill. I’d keep it on at night because you’re sleeping at night, but lower it during the day when you’re not there. How old is the building? Is it drafty? Covering draft areas helps too, like putting a rolled towel at the base of doors.
