To answer this question a voltage must be stated. W = A x V x pf.
1 HP is 746 watts, so 5 HP is 3730 watts. Divide by 0.8 for the efficiency factor, so the power required is 4662.5 watts.
2975 watts
Approximately 33%, depending on the design. That's measuring from reactor thermal power to final electric power.

No. Nothing is 100 percent efficient. In any situation some energy will be given off in a form that is useless to us.

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.
All the power absorbed by the heating element and the connecting wire is converted into heat, leading to the 100% efficiency figure.

Lennox top o the line furnace is 98.2 percent efficient
Only if you're referring to an electric heater ... since all loses are also heat. The real world answer is no.
No, no machine is 100% efficient.
it is not very efficientAnswerThey are 100 percent efficient.
Gas cooking should be more energy efficient than electric, as the thermal energy from burning the gas goes directly into the food in the pan, whereas if the gas is used in a power plant you probably lose about 60 percent of the energy, only 40 percent goes into making the electricity

If you're using it to generate light, 10 percent efficient. If you're using it to generate heat, 90 percent efficient.
