The efficiency of the heating appliance is an important factor when determining the cost of a given amount of heat. Heating efficiencies for electricity range from 100 percent for resistive heat such as baseboards, electric furnaces and fan-forced wall heaters – up to 200 percent efficient for air-source heat pumps, and up to 350 percent efficient for ground-source heat pumps.
