I thought that all electric heaters were 100% efficient.

What is this site talking about when they say:

"During the process of converting electrical energy into heat energy a
great deal of it is lost. Therefore an electrical heater is left with
45% of the energy for heating purposes."

Per the law of physics, they are obviously idiots. The
electric energy you are paying for, as registered by the
meter, is almost all converted to heat by an electric heater.
The tiny, negligible losses would be as heat in the wiring going from
the meter to the heater. And even that is converted to heat.

They sure are idiots. Here is a quote from there,

"During the process of converting electrical energy into heat energy a great
deal of it is lost. Therefore an electrical heater is left with 45% of the
energy for heating purposes"

What I want to know is where did the 65% of the enegery go ? Did it get
lost as heat ?? If so that would bring it back up to 100% If it got
converted to light, heating the elements to red, that light would hit
objects in the room converting back to heat.

The oil filled heaters must get the heat from somewhere, That means it
takes a while for the oil to heat and the room is not being heated with this
heat.

The only thing even near good about the other heaters is the IR types that
direct heat directly at you . You will be warm, but the other parts of the
room will be cold. If you sit in one spot to watch TV it is good, but if
you go to another chair, you need a coat.
