Since at the heater itself electric heat is pretty close to 100% efficient. How do you get an electric heating element that is not completely 100% efficient?
What would be the losses if not heat?

"What would be the losses if not heat?"Line losses? Light? Oxydation?

It probably is 100% all the way. Yet what about the small magnetic field that is generated since it is AC. Does that cause a miniscule loss in the form of a magnetic field? So could someone argue that it is .000001 % inefficient?
