The wall heater is most likely hooked to 240 volts which will use less energy to heat up a room than a plug in 120 volt heater. having insulated walls and attic and "newer" windows will keep the heat in. Check with your power company for windows or insulation, Most areas will pay for some of the work, depending on if your on low income or not.

First, forget the electric fireplace. Try the wall heater. Take a meter reading first and see what amount of power it requires at a temperature. Then use the portable heater under similar conditions. See which gives you the best warmth at what cost, Then make the comparison. You may find the wall heater gives the best heat at the higher cost.
