No. Efficiency is the ratio of heat into a room versus the amount of fuel
burned. ALL electric heaters are 100% effiecient. All fossil fueled
heaters are somewhat less if they have a vent to the outside. IOW, if 20%
of the heat goes up the chimney, you have an 80% effiecient heater.

Heat is heat. 1500 watts is 1500 watt, no matter what style or brand of
heater. $30 gets you a good one.
