BTW resistance heating is 100% efficient at the point of load (not counting wire losses although they deliver heat too as long as they are in the unit being heated.) The only way to get above 100% is a heat pump. If the heat pump collection coils are buried below the frost line (ground sourced heat pump) you can get above 100% during the whole heating season even in cold climates. Nice round up.
