Room heaters?

What type of heaters do you use to raise your room temp? I have a small heater we bought but its just not doing the job. I would like my room to stay around 80.

I have one of those small oil filled radiator types. it is just a suppliment to a baseboard heater. neither of them run on high... I think it works well for me. It is in a basement room that is 25x15, and poorly insulated. And it can get COLD here.:O

Fallguy, have yoiu seen your electric bills go up very much. I use a pretty nice space heater, not oil radiator, and it has jacked up our bills

thats what my space heater has done it jacked my bill up 50 dollars and it doesnt even do the job good

Denial you running a heater in the middle of summer? You're about 2 1/2 hours south of me and its hot here I know Greenville is scorching! My sister and her family lived there for many years right off of White Horse Rd.

I have not seen a major increase because of that. The electric company says it is because of all of the Christmas lights we run. I don't think I can count 5 strands on or in the whole house. Some years, none.

Upstairs, I have wood heat. In the basement with the snakes, just the two heaters, and a lot of insulation over the windows and doors.

Yea I like to keep my snake room at 80-85 degrees at all times. But we keep our house set at 68-70 degrees
