You don't need electric blankets. They are just another power drain. Invest in a good duvet and some flanel sheets. You will be warm and toasty.
We have a two story house that is about 100 years old. The most important thing for us is weatherstripping. We heat using force air natural gas. Make sure your furnace is cleaned and serviced on an annual basis. Change your filters once a month in the winter months. Foam wrap your hot water pipes.
Turn the heat down at night and wear warm pyjamas and used more blankets. If you can get an automated thermostat set it to bring the temp up around a half hour before you get up and have it turn down in the evening sometime. Saves a bundle.
