Yeah I put them on the exterior and interior doors. I decided to make mine instead of buying them, and they were exactly the right size, plus I did some customization to make them fit. We had high ceilings in our house, and we had this thing that was a series of tubes, but with a fan at the bottom, and sucked the hot air that rose, back down. Since I'm living alone I have two space heaters, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, and never use the built in heaters (other than they are set at 45 to prevent pipes from freezing). If I am downstairs I use the space heater and a blanket. Upstairs I use the heater for the room I am in, either the bedroom or the office, and stuff the draft dodger at the bottom of the door. I had a roommate for about a week of this next month's bill, but I bet it will be less in cost for even lower temps. The way my house is built there are very few pipes in outside walls, so that helps.

I'd use one in the car because my seats are heated, but I just try and dress warm. If you lived in a cold and snowy area you may find some use for it, but I know you don't and I think cutiepatootie lives in Southern California, where it doesn't spend too much time below freezing.

That with the Snuggie would be out of control.
