Resistive heaters still suck though

  • Resistive heaters are much more portable and flexible. (edit: and quiet)
  • Resistive heaters are a viable backup when heat pumps fail in extremely cold weather.
  • Resistive heaters are less money upfront for if you only have to use them occasionally.

One is not directly beneath the other. Both have their place.

Fair enough, do we need to extend this heater solidarity to combustibles as well?

I mean technically they’re infinitely electrically efficient if you don’t use electricity to start them lol
