Electric is all about 1500 watts or 5200 BTU and provides the same actual heat.
The question is if you prefer radiant, forced air or convection?
Radiant will reflect the heat direct on you for an instant feeling of warmth.
Forced air will circulate the warmth some or direct it into a cold area.
Convection will provide a steady even heat that seems slower at first but still provides the same BTU.
I use a 1200 watt Delonghi radiator style and it works well for what we need and prefer. I like the lower wattage to run the circuit a bit less than the max as it often runs 24/7.
