I got several quotes and went with Reliance (use to be union energy), they did not proved the cheapest quote but the 24/7 service and other benefits convinced me. I had an extremely old furnace that did work but I could just sense that it was going to go and was not worth the cost of repair. When I bought the house it was one of the things we knew had to be replaced eventually.
My wife is not infavour of the space heater idea (safey/fire..etc) but it is the only way I can think of to heat just her room at night, letting the house go down to say (62-ish range) during the night. One of us is always home during the day so we need to keep the rest of the house warm (68 is warm to me, cold to the missus) so blocking the vents is just not practical, plus the vents in our house are so old I know that it still would not be that efficent to block them do to heat loss even before the vent is blocked.
I was thinking of getting one of those heaters with the fan on it, putting it in the hallway just outside her room and let it blow in. I would prefer to have a heater in her room on a shelf up high, secured to the wall but the missus is just not a convinced. All this because of the increased cost to heat your home. I read that the heating cost is expected to be triple what it was last year....think I just had a minor stroke there....
