Anyhow, what is the most efficient electric heater available? I was
thinking of the oil radiator type. Since it would continue to warm the
room
even after the element has shut off. Any thoughts or ideas?


All electric heaters are 100% efficient. The oil type tends to radiate from
a larger area than the smaller elements, but the operating cost is the same.
Yes, it radiates heat after the elements shuts off, but it also takes time
for the oil to absorb that heat. No cost difference, but it may seem a bit
more gentle to people in the room.
