Does anyone know how these two compare on electricity for the same thermal output? I'm lead to believe they are the same because all (?) the electricity is converted into heat, no?
If it matters, the baseboard heater is your typical, while the space heater is oil-filled radiator (so no fan).
Also, I don't think it'd be relevant to the question but each bedroom has a baseboard heater so it's a matter of just heating that one room vs the entire place.
I'll also add that the pro with this space heater is that it has a timer/thermostat, while the baseboard has neither, so the baseboard requires intervention to optimize/turn it off, which is certainly something in the big picture.
Finally, in the living room, it's actually not a baseboard heater but some blown air ac/heating unit - which is super annoying because it turns on and off ALL. THE. TIME. (Not sure where the sensor is; gave up quickly and just picked up the oil-filled radiator used).
