Energy-saving electric heating

How to make electric space heaters more energy-efficient?

To make electric space heaters more energy-efficient, you can basically do one thing: Correlate the heating needs as close as possible with the heater heating output. You can do that automatically (via thermostat) or manually (via switching between different electricity inputs).

Are electric space heaters safe?
