Why is an electric heater the only appliance that is 100 percent efficient?

It is difficult to believe that anything has a 100% efficiency rating, even an electric heater. Electricity is very good at producing heat. Any loss of efficiency would be in how much heat is lost to the surrounding equipment and building structure in the immediate vicinity of the heater, which may be in the basement, as opposed to heating the air in living or working areas which is probably what you want.
Electricity is very expensive when compared to other forms of heat, such as natural gas.

What is the most quiet fan forced large room electric wall heater?
you want an answer? I will give it to you. You will not find a quiet-running, efficient, electric heater with a fan because the gas and electric companies will not allow you to have one. No lying. I just spent an hour plus trying to find one (in august mind you) with no success. This after a year of living up north again and going through 6 different heaters, none of which worked the way I wanted them too. Now I come on this site and give my facebook info only to get errors when trying to abort. Well listen to this you gas company turds . . . I just came up with the best idea for an efficient, reliable, quiet operation fan driven heater and I am going to build it. Questions? Call 954-937-2499
