I've lived in two of the coldest cities in the world: Toronto and Melbourne. Okay okay, so I don't take to the cold very well. I like a comfortable temperature of 24-28 degrees Celsius all year round. Can't help it. I was born and bred in the tropics.

In Toronto, where the outside temperature had been cold for me 9 months of a year while I lived there, I kept my portable heater on to full (30 degrees C) so I could sit around in t-shirt and shorts while it was -40 degrees C out. Very unenvironmental, I know. These days I'm more enlightened.

While in Melbourne, my hubby's home had a Vent-Free Natural Gas Ultra Slim Wall Heater. It was way more efficient than the portable one which tended to burn my feet. Having researched a bit, wall heaters seem to be a better choice than the portables. They look prettier too. :)
