Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that electric baseboard heaters are the most energy-efficient way to heat a room, with an efficiency rating of 98 percent when compared to other types of room heaters.

Yes, they are. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that electric baseboard heaters are about 85% efficient, which is significantly higher than the efficiency rating for wall-mounted electric convection heaters (about 65%) and central heating systems (about 55%). In addition, because electric baseboard heaters work by radiating heat directly into the room, there is no need to first warm up a room by heating the air and then transferring that heat to people and objects in the room. This helps to save energy and money on your heating bill.
