Electric heating can be much more efficient than what's effectively resistive heating with 500%+ efficiencies being possible.

Search for "heat pumps" or watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J52mDjZzto

Someone else mentioned heat pumps to me in this context too, I'm unfortunately really limited in what I can use in my apartment. It's a condo complex made of brick put up in 1906 - without heating or air conditioning. I'm not in a position to install external hardware. My parents have a heat pump set-up in their house though!

Watched the video by the way, thanks!
