I think what you are thinking is that when a substance is heated the atoms go farther apart. It would seem that electrons would be able to move through it easier. But actually, heating a substance causes more collisions between the atoms and the elctrons, because the atoms of the material are vibrating faster. This causes the electrons to lose energy.
