The laws of physics are very simple. 1 kw-hr = 3412 BTU's. I don't care if you are using a toaster with a fan, hair dryer, oil filled heater, base board electric heaters, space heater, light bulbs. You can't get any more heat if the heater is made in china, has ceramic tubes, or you put a wood cabinet made by the Amish around a space heater. The up side to electric heat is you can heat just one room, no heat loss in trunk lines, no heat going up the chimney. Where I live the more electricity you use the less it costs per Kw-hr.
I've converted all my rental properties to electric base board heat, put in new windows, insulated walls and attic. With electric baseboard heat, you don't have any maintenance to worry about. No filters, no fan motors, no pilot lights, thermocouples, transformers, or electronic brain boxes. Only replaced 2 thermostats in 30 years. My tenants are happy with their electric bills especially when they have lived in places with no insulation and their gas bills were over $500/mo.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY ALL THE HYP ABOUT SOME MAGICAL ELECTRIC HEATER. THEY ALL ALL THE SAME:) 1 KW-HR = 3412 BTU's
Amish heaters are like putting lipstick on a pig, you still have a pig!

Times were not always like this. I can remember back to 1948 when I was a brand new John Deere Model M. A man and his wife came to the dealer and looked me over real good. After many talks with the salesman a deal was struck and I, along with a M2 plow, c
