>> Electric panel radiators are just as effective as any other radiators in heating a room.
Of course, they are doing the same thing in the same way, which is substantially convective.

All electric heating is efficient. kW in = kW out for practical purposes. It just costs a lot.
>>Everybody would use electric heating in some form if it hasn't for the running costs- around 3 to 4 times that of gas.
Agree. And if the generation and transmission is efficient it would probably be better for the environment even if using fossil fuel.
The bit I don't get about "infrared heaters" is that they are both inefficient (in terms of cost rather than energy input) and comparatively ineffective. In short, "rubbish!".
