If I eaten an entire house with a space heater in each room, I would agree with you.

This past winer we had a month that was colder than normal, and that month we paid $300 to heat. The following month we turned the central heat way down, dressed warmer, and used a space-heater in the small den where we ate and watched TV

For some reason people tend to just get stuck on the "space heaters are expensive" thing even though most of us use them to temporarily supplement the heat and not use them to heat the whole house. I've never seen any significant increase in electric bill from occasionally using a space heater.
