Is an electric fireplace more efficient than a baseboard heater?

the best electric fireplaces image

Saskwatcha

I have a house that is heated by baseboard heaters and I am thinking of getting a electric fireplace for the living room. Both are 2000W. The fireplace will have a fan - which will use more energy, but spread the heat through the room faster. Which one will be more energy efficient?

Answer
