Renting. There's central heating in the house with gas but I think that uses alot of money and it emits from all the ducts even rooms that aren't being used.

Are these real? http://www.bywayofbicycle.com/the-candle-powered-space-heater/

Sure it's real but you can't just multiply heat magically. It's just a tea candle.

but burning a candle already heats the room, this only restricts the heat to a small area can be good as a feet hand warmer

The whole house needs to be kept at a minimum temperature to prevent pipes freezing and such. Dress warmer. Get a kigirumi and steep in your farts.

Use painter's plastic to create a false ceiling so you don't have to heat all that space.

cold feet? slooow ceiling fan.

I really like Vornado space heaters, they blow air in a long column to keep room circulation going and heat the room instead of a small radius around the heater. Set them at one corner, point them up towards the opposite wall mid-way or so, after an hour the room is nice and warm. I got one from Target for under 100 bucks a few years ago when I lived in an ice-cold rental and it really helped.

If you have rooms that you don't use, you can buy magnetic covers for the registers. Don't block too many though or it will can fuck up your furnace.

Other than that you pick your poison for heating source. Electric is the easiest but usually the most expensive. Kerosene isn't super cheap and stinks when you turn it on or off but puts out a ton of heat quickly. Propane is usually expensive and requires ventilation. Natural gas is usually the cheapest but requires plumbing the gas in.

So get an electric space heater and warm the area you're in and dress warmer or turn up the heat in the house.

ghetto kotatsu, radiant heat element set to 300-500w and tied to a thermometer mounted under your desk, blanket over the top trailing to floor, ikea desktop over the top

>Use painter's plastic
if you can get a roll of bubble wrap even better.
but be very careful with heating a temporary and lets face it, volatile, structure.
don't leave heaters unattended or go to sleep with them on.
dress warmly, hide under blankets.

how energy efficient are they? how many watts? I have a $60 gift voucher so I'm pretty sure I'll get this.

Just lower your ceiling.

Well, they're electric heating elements so ~100% efficient.

Get a small heater and a fan. Put heater Infront of fan and put on low

what kind of heater and what kind of fan (I have a tall one)

Ceiling fans make a huge difference.

What room?
Bed?
Living?

I highly recommend an electric blanket for those.

Bit trickier if it's a working space for art or electronics or something

Need to warm a small-ish bedroom (about 3.5m x 3.5m) with higher than normal ceilings. Will a convector with fan (ie this http://www.harveynorman.com.au/heating-cooling-air-treatment/heating/electric-heaters/goldair-2000w-convector-heater.html) work better than a oil-fin heater?
