Actually, they're grossly INefficient. They use around 1500 watts to heat the room. That's the equivalent of leaving 25 lights on. However, because natural gas is expected to be outrageously priced this winter, you'll probably wind up saving money wasting more energy with the electric heater rather than running with your nice, efficient, natural gas furnace.
