EDIT- My heating/ac is all electric so i cant do anything about that or gas and i cannot install a heat pump most likely because i rent and probably cant change large aspects like that

I'd like to have two space heaters (one i already have as a floater between bedroom and living room, its a small apartment)

Is it possibly more efficient and cost-saving to keep a minimum temperature to keep the "pipes" from freezing in winter but be able to surgically modulate the temperature using seperate slace heaters like if i stay in either room all day just use that room's sh to get it comfortable but let the other room just chill at the min temp

Gotta jump in to recommend electric blankets!

I personally keep my propane heated house around 19 C and do use an electric heater that's also a fake fireplace in the living room when I wanna be extra cozy. Not sure about the efficiency, but it's pleasant.

Electric blankets are great for heating you (and potentially your feline friends) rather than the air.

We keep some electric blankets and space heaters around in case the furnace shits the bed or we have a power outage. We can power them from our mobile generator as we don't have a connection to the breaker box and the furnace won't burn with our power for the fan (rightfully so!).
