It depends. A heat pump is probably more efficient if you're going to heat the entire house evenly; if you only want it warm in one room, a room heater may be better.
A fan.
To reflect heat back into the room.
Most heaters heat a room primarily through convection. The heater warms the air, which then circulates around the room. However, some heaters also emit infrared radiation that directly heats objects and people in the room.

Infrared heaters tend to be more energy-efficient because they heat objects and people directly, whereas micathermic heaters heat the air in the room. However, micathermic heaters generally provide more consistent and even heat distribution throughout the room. The choice between the two will depend on your specific heating needs and preferences.
Radiant heaters heat objects nearby them such as furniture and are usually cheaper. Regular convection heaters actually heat the air temp in the room.
Baseboard electric heaters are placed on the outer walls of a room in order to radiate heat towards the center of the room. They also heat up the outer walls of which usually are cooler than the inner walls.
A space heater heats a room by transferring heat through convection, radiation, or a combination of both. Convection heaters warm the air, which rises and circulates around the room. Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that directly heats objects and people in its path.
Yes, space heaters can dry out the air in a room because they generate heat by burning fuel or using electricity, which can reduce the humidity levels in the air.
Electric heaters work by converting electrical energy into heat through a heating element, such as a coil or resistor. When electricity flows through the heating element, it produces resistance, which generates heat. This heat is then transferred to the surrounding air in the room, warming up the space.
The Honeywell small-room space heaters are around $30, and an excellent value. They can heat up a small bedroom very quickly.
