2. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   Alternatively, a heat pump can achieve around 150% – 600% efficiency for heating, or COP 1.5 - 6.0 Coefficient of performance, because it uses electric power only for transferring existing thermal energy. The heat pump uses an electric motor to drive a reversed refrigeration cycle, that draws heat energy from an external source such as the ...

3. Space heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

   Although the General Services Administration had Specification W-H-193 [13] for electric space heaters, it was replaced in 1995 by the UL standards. Additional information on portable-heater safety may be found at the Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency website. [14]

4. Ceramic heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_heater

   A ceramic heater as a consumer product is a space heater that generates heat using a heating element of ceramic with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ failed verification ] Ceramic heaters are usually portable and typically used for heating a room or small office, and are of similar utility to metal-element fan heaters .

5. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

   90–95% (multiply by the energy efficiency of electricity generation to compare with other water-heating systems) Electric heater: Electrical to thermal ~100% (essentially all energy is converted into heat, multiply by the energy efficiency of electricity generation to compare with other heating systems) Others: Firearm: Chemical to kinetic

6. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

   The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

7. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump

   Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs)—or geothermal heat pumps (GHP), as they are commonly termed in North America—are among the most energy-efficient technologies for providing HVAC and water heating, using less energy than can be achieved by use of resistive electric heaters. Efficiency is given as a coefficient of performance (CoP) which is ...
