I just moved to a home using oil heat, I was wondering if anyone had luck using electric space heaters to keep their oil bill down? I understand electric rates are at historic highs right now so wondering if it will be worth buying a few space heaters?

Not sure if it is cheaper.
To prevent fire, only buy the kind that shuts off automatically if they fall over and always plug them into the wall, never plug into an extension cord.
Your best option, if you own, is likely a heat pump install with aux heat coil (maybe solar also), financed.
