Electric heating can be used as an electrical device that converts electrical energy into heat set. The only thing that drives me crazy is that I see a couple of electric heaters up to 20% more efficient than other electric heating advertised. The bottom line in all this is that the amount of BTU, one kilowatt of energy can be produced by the laws of physics is defined.
Take each kilowatt electric heat and convert it to 3415 Btu per kW is achieved. This fact can notaltered or modified. So to all the demands of their electric heating is more efficient than the next person is totally wrong.
There are several ways to provide heat and can make a difference in the way of feeling the heat of delivery to be done. Can use electric heaters, infrared technology, but they are warmer, without actually heating the air around you. Heaters that keep the oil or to use ceramics to keep the heat can radiate to heat even if the item is notDo you feel welcome, even if the item does not generate more heat. There are several popular ways of heat, but the bottom line is that the BTU is the amount produced by each on a base equal to 3415 BTU per KW.
The exception is the modern heat pump. A heat pump is a device that uses an electrically powered compressor to power a refrigeration cycle that extracts heat from outside air or the soil or groundwater. The heat is then transferredthe room is heated. Heat pumps can be many times more efficient than electric resistance heating.
Another possibility is to save a bit 'of a storage heating system that combines the advantages of cheaper electricity prices. They use electrical building during periods of low demand as the accumulation of heat during the night in a stone or water. This heat is then removed from the stone or water during the day when electricity costs more extracts.
Imagine if you consider electric heater to always remember that with fossil fuelsCentral may be issued only there for 4 units of electricity for every 10 units of fuel energy. Even if you use a 100% efficient electric heating, the amount of fuel needed to make the amount of heat than if the fuel is burned in a furnace or boiler to heat the building. The amount of electricity that is lost through substation transformers and cables is almost 2 / 3 thirds of what was originally produced at the plant.
Electric heating is in goodsome cases, but in many situations, is not a responsible use of our resources. Also, I do not think the accusations that the electrical resistance heater is more efficient than any other. A kilowatt hour of electricity will only convert a 3415 BTU's of heat.
