Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside.

I think it’s actually closer to 100%, if not actually 100% due to it being a resistive load. All electricity not used for processing gets expelled as heat, so for the purposes of heating a room, 100% efficiency.

I think heat pumps are still more efficient, though, due to getting heat from outside, but not 100% sure on that.
