Default incandescent lights not *that* bad?

Incandescents are widely maligned for making much more light than heat;
but if I'm correct, in a centrally heated home that extra heat produced
by incandescents would be recycled, by helping heat the home (and
reducing heating oil bills slightly)?
Of course this means incandescents are doubly wasteful in
air-conditioned homes, although they're rare in Europe.
