Picture an oil filled space heater no thermostat switched to the 15KW setting.
Picture it in a closed room with no thermostat in a house that is kept at 68 F by a thermostat in another room. Assume that the heat from the space heater does not reach the thermostat.
Now picture the space heater sitting outside on a 35 F day.
Does it use the same amount of electricity in both situations?
