Thank you Steve.

I am not interested in costs.

I simply want to know how can 4 kWh of electric energy be compared with 5 kWh of thermal energy (is this even thermal energy)?

Is the only way of comparing these two types of energy by multiplying them with their costs per unit:

4 kWh of electric energy * 1$/kWh = 4 $
5 kWh of thermal energy (?) * 0.5$/kWh = 2.5 $

?

There is no other way of comparing these two types of values without costs involved?
