It will increase your electric bill much more than it will reduce your heating bill.

Ayuh,...... Is this insulation on top of the ceilings below, 'tween the joists, or at the roof sheathing, 'tween the roof rafters,..??..??A passing thought...
I have a ranch house... in my attic - unfinished, I have string lighting... with 40 wat bulbs... its throse string lights from harbor frieght, covers 80% of the attic, right down the middle...
So I am curious...
If I turn on the attic lights... and leave them on... would that offset my heating oil usage?
I am more curious than anything, as I will be raising the temp of the attic, wouldnt heat transfer from the ceilings also drop?
I have 6" fiberglass, with 6-10" of blown in insulation - which I plan to double/triple in the next 2 years.
Technically, you are right.Yes, it would lower the oil consumption a little.
