Some wall heaters heat bricks up,then turn of,the bricks store heat for hours,with the right set up,if you dont have a wood burner,heat a good 8 to 10 bricks with a chiminea,useing forest wood from dead trees,bring the bricks carefully in your room,hot room for hours.
Tbh there is no cheap way unless you own a lot of land and trees. Propane cost a lot now, space heaters suck up crazy money you might as well burn it. Electric units in my area cost a premium to run seeing that my “delivery cost” alone can be nearly half of my bill.
While solar energy has upfront costs, it can still be a cost-effective long-term solution, reducing reliance on traditional power sources. Fees may vary, but the overall savings and environmental benefits can outweigh initial expenses.
Out of all of the options, these are the 9 cheapest ways, not the total ways to heat your home :) There are more than 9 ways to heat a home, we just selected the cheapest options.
Space heaters are just electric heaters and they are not any more efficient than any electrical heater. An Infrared heater can heat a person directly but it is still only 100% Kwh for Kwh efficient.
You're correct that space heaters, including infrared ones, are essentially electric heaters, and their efficiency is consistent with electrical heaters. While infrared heaters can offer direct warmth, the overall energy efficiency remains comparable on a kWh basis.
Unfortunately you are incorrect, if you see a log burner or stove with a fan that is because it has been installed incorrect and needs to manufacture a draw rather than the natural heat pressure differential.
