EDIT- My heating/ac is all electric so i cant do anything about that or gas and i cannot install a heat pump most likely because i rent and probably cant change large aspects like that

I'd like to have two space heaters (one i already have as a floater between bedroom and living room, its a small apartment)

Is it possibly more efficient and cost-saving to keep a minimum temperature to keep the "pipes" from freezing in winter but be able to surgically modulate the temperature using seperate slace heaters like if i stay in either room all day just use that room's sh to get it comfortable but let the other room just chill at the min temp

If for example it takes you 300kJ to heat your room one degree, gas will get you to that degree with about 380kJ whereas it will take an electric heater well over 500kJ.

This just remotely is not how physics work. Exsctly what do you think happens to that 200 kJ delta with electric energy ? Where does the extra 200 go ?
