Think y'all be good candidates since I also have the only tele in the bedroom.
Never checked the consumption, but can as the electric company gave me one of those meters. Bet be the same or less than the space heater since it is only heating the direct space y'all in versus a whole room. I turn on mine about a half hour before climbing in, as the pad has high heat for that time, then goes to the setting (shuts off after 10 hours). Such a luxury to climb into a warm bed!

Those folks sure did! Solar has about a 10 year return, I.I.R.C.. That is why I have to wait. I don't consume all that much electricity, so for now, alright. But, the rates are only going to go up.
Good idea on insulation where it is needed!
Know my attic insulation needs improvement, but not sure can afford all 1248 and the garage (here they cheap out and put no insulation above despite it sharing two walls and getting hotter inside than outside). What fun taking care of a home...
