Best bang for the buck is sealing air leaks, then add insulation (assuming it’s not already decently insulated).

As for space heaters, you will save on oil, but your electric bill will skyrocket. Unless you lower your oil heat temperature and use a space heater in the room you are occupying.

Yeah, we got new windows and insulation, and now we are paying the same for heating as we did 2 or 3 years ago (plus a tax write off).

But, I have been hearing that an Electric Blanket is a good investment to save money on heating. At least compared to a space heater.
