Reply to comment by Affectionate-Ad-3578 in Does oil filled heater takes much longer than the fan heater? by Substantial-Elk-1259

It helps more effectively move energy around the room, meaning you might need less heat to feel warm on the other side of the room. But the efficiency is still the same. They’re both 100% efficient. You can only get higher by using like a heat pump.

I just put the heat where I need it so I can use less.

I'm counting the energy use of the fan as a loss, but yes, they're both 100% efficient. We're in total agreement on that. Cheers.

Fans actually not a loss either. The loss is in heat which this case is the desired effect!
