My family and I live in an apartment complex. We do not need to use the heat at all.(electric heat). the heat rises so no need to waste any extra energy on having the heater on. We love blankets. dress warmer-sweaters, sweat shirts. We always have a blanket on the couch so everyone cal cuddle under it.
