Efficient, yes. But a poor choice for a heater. It's just a marketing gimmick. Every electric heater is nearly 100 percent efficient. Efficiency is a term not understood by many. Energy efficiency - useful work per quantity of energy. In other words, What is the job of an electric heater? To make heat. How much of the electricity fed to the heater is turned into heat? All of it. That makes it 100 percent efficient. In contrast an incandescent light bulb is only about 5 percent efficient, only 5% of the electricity fed to it is converted to light the other 95% is converted to heat.

The heat from an electric space heater is transferred to you by?
all objects emit electromagnetic radiation through empty space, as well as matter. So feel the heat from the electric heater due to radiation.
What is the energy transformation of an electric space heater?
kinetic energy transformation potential energy mechanical energy electrical energy chemical energy nuclear energy sound energy geothermal energy

How has space technology improved from 60 years ago and how has it helped us in further space discoveries today?
Technology has improved in many ways. Telescopes, Space probes and space shuttle along with many other things help us get a better knowledge of space. More powerful telescopes let us see things very far from earth. Good space probes go more far out in space and are able to learn more about space. Space shuttles do the same thing as space probes but only have humans
Do they make energy efficient electric space heaters?
the New Solar Comfort Metal Infrared Electric Space Heater by Sun Cloud is supposed to be effiecient.
What is the Maximum efficiency machine?
The electric space heater. It's the only common machine that's 100% efficient.
What is the best energy efficient space heater?
We do not have a need for a space heater so I have not used one in the past. I would not use kerosene but I would use electric if necessary. Dyson has one that is pretty cool looking.
How efficient is a small space heater?
it is not very efficientAnswerThey are 100 percent efficient.
Is it efficient to use a Valco Infrared heater as a space heater?
Valco Infrared heater can be used as a space heater. The can save you lots of money on energy costs.
Is there a heater that will also purify the air at the same time?
There is a heater called the EdenPURE Quartz Infrared Portable Heater that can heat your home and purify the air at the same time. It can heat up to 1000 sq feet of space at a given time. You can check out the company at www.edenpurestore.com.
Edenpure heaters use what type of technology?
Edenpure heaters use infrared heating to heat a space. This allows the unit to heat a small confined space or a very large open space based on the size of the machine.
Do electric heater fireplaces work well, or are they just for looks?
They work about as well as a space heater.
How do you determine electrical usage and efficiency on a portable space heater?
Electric heat is always 99% efficient. The only exception to this relates to 110 volt vs 220 volt, but this is based on myth.
Are oil space heaters better than electric heaters?
An oil filled electric space heater produces a more "even" heating without the hotspots that standard electric space heaters can produce. Also it is not possible for something poked into the oil filled electric space heater to touch the electrical heating element wires as is possible in standard electric space heaters (which would shock you).
The heat from an electric space heater is transferred to you by?
all objects emit electromagnetic radiation through empty space, as well as matter. So feel the heat from the electric heater due to radiation.
Where can one find energy efficient space heaters?
Energy efficient space heaters can be found and purchased at Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Overstock, Kmart, Kohl's, and Meijer. An energy efficient space heater can be helpful in lowering heating costs in the winter.
