I like the plug for the door sweeps that are from recycled fabrics. I'm doing some research on what is cost effective and what are the best ways to heat your home using the least energy. I've interviwed several employees from different heating and cooling companies ( local -who know I'm not going to buy anything) and they disagree that a space heater will save energy. Not only is it not effective heating very large areas, but they use a lot of energy to create the heat. One guy estimated that by using just one space heater everyday in your home a household electric bill could increase by $80 dollars. For about the same price in Tucson, you can heat the whole home. If it's going green we're talking about, space heaters don't necessarily save you money or the planet. It's still consuming large amounts of energy, only it's heating 5x less the space.
