Not really - any losses due to the fan will be caused by friction, this will result in heat being generated; so the extra heat produced by the bearing friction will also be blown into the room.0 -
I'd second the electric blanket suggestion, and also bought an electric fleece throw for last winter, which I wrapped around me like a cloak when I got cold. It was very effective and I was only paying to heat me.0

I third the electric blanket! V cheap to run and absolutely pump the heat out.0

Your forgetting the energy given to accelerate the mass of air. F=MA and also the sound it produces and if iam being really geeky a small portion will be turned into mass E=mc^2. Like a said its so little its makes no difference.0 -
Geek alert!!! Take cover!I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
