At what?


Heating.

How much of the heat heats the target and how much goes
elsewhere? Especially when it is air conditioning season?


That does not affect the efficiency of the heat production. What
HAPPENS to the heat is not germane to my claim of 100% efficiency.

Your points, of course, are well considered AND considerable if
operating cooling equipment within the same environment.

The electric furnace I owned for 13-years was likewise efficient. If
one turned-off the lights at night and peered into the device, dim light
could be seen - waste light.
