I've lived in my current place for over 10 years, and so don't actually know if the heater works.
Then again, I live in Texas (and was away from home for the big freezes we had in 2021 and 2023), so it's rarely an issue.
But air conditioning is a different story. I can only trove so much clothing, and without air conditioning my little trailer home gets to like 120 degrees in the summer.
OK, OP... where do you live that a sweater is "enough"?
Denver, CO checking in and I'll take my central heat, thanks.

Something that really should be used more is using those rubber hot water bottles. it won't heat your whole room, but it's great when paired with a blanket.
And risk burning yourself when the rubber wears out in 3 years and bursts?
Nah, get yourself one of those oat-filled microwavable teddies. Does the same job but with less risk of severe burns and doesn't need replaced every few years.

Americans should start building their houses like Europeans. Made from brick, mortar and good insulation. Your houses are made from wood and paper.
looks around at countless houses made from wood I guess northern Sweden, which gets below -30°c every year, lost its European status.
You do realize that there's insulation in those walls right. That's the whole point of wood frame construction; you stuff the gaps between studs full of several inches of insulation. Besides, most of a homes heat loss isn't through the walls anyways. It's through any openings in those walls (windows, doors, etc) and through the roof.

Earthquakes would say otherwise for at least part of the US. Also, without full-time mechanical ventilation, that would be misery in a lot of the US. The climate is also different to some places in Europe and varies hugely on US region

Okay, I need some help here, where on earth can I find comfy hot inner slippers that doesn't disintegrate after a year or two?
13/47...
Edit: size 13 or 47 :-)
I just have a pair of hiking boots that I wear indoors. I have them laced up very loose so that I can just pull them on without undoing the laces, almost like slippers. They're very warm and comfy.
That works, but I don't use shoes indoors so that would be kind of weird.
