Yep! I would add make sure your duct work is properly sealed and connected. Spent 2 winters in the house I bought in 2021, and the living room and every room at the front of the house is always cold.

Turns out one of the main ducts that's feeds air to half of the house was not fully attached let alone sealed. I bought a roll of the foil tape and mastic, applied and installed where it was applicable and experienced a noticeable difference. I plan to install some fiberglass insulation in the basement walls and floors of the living room (basement ceiling) I installed hard foam in the floor joists and insulated that too. Definitely a noticeable impact, and my gas and electric bills are lowering because everything is holding temps steady
They both use electricity to generate warmth, equally as efficient in that regard.

Infrared heaters will add a layer of warmth to people and things that they are pointed at within range. They make you feel warm. They work well in a room pointed where you know people will be spending time.

Baseboard radiators heat all the surrounding air. They work best to heat a whole small room.

If you're looking for efficiency, invest in insulation and sealing the cracks under doors, and get heaters that have smart, effective thermostats with heat recovery features (none come to mind).
Good for people that have excess solar energy to burn, otherwise pretty expensive to operate in my area at least

Is this more or less efficient than electric baseboard heaters?

About the same, 1500w is 1500w when it comes to resistive heating. Only perk is you can put it where the existing heating doesn't do a good job.

You should only buy this for the look/ambiance, not for its efficacy in heating vs various other 1500w electric heaters.

1500W is 1500W. You cannot have a more or less efficient electric space heater. They will all be 100% efficient at converting the same amount of power into the same amount of heat. If you want higher than 100% efficiency you have to look into heat pumps

Theres been a few companies like eden pure that have claimed their electric heaters are more efficient because of x reason, but if their claims are true they would be violating the laws of physics. Although it seems as a lot of people have fallen for these marketing BS claims

Amazon dropshipped space heaters, straight from Alibaba. Make sure your smoke detectors are tip top

Quote from fuzzyfacedog :
Furthermore, since the eye blocks the IRR, the eye begins to overheat leading to eye damage and possible blindness. Because of this, you should not look at the heater for an extended period of time.


https://hps.org/publicinformation...12691.html

IR heaters will not heat up a room or the air within that room. The IRR mostly passes through air, not heating the air but will heat other materials such as furniture or your body. This heating, if extreme, can cause fires or dangerous skin burns.
This has a fan in it and mentions hot air coming from the vent. That means it's likely using a heat transfer material in the unit and then blowing out the resulting hot air.

It doesn't have a reflecting dish and the line of sight to the IR bulb is tiny, so it's almost certainly going to function no different than a resistive heater for all intents and purposes. It's generating the heat differently, but it's still heating the room with hot air.
