Relevant technology connections video

The long and short of it is that they are just better than standard heating. You can get more than 100W of heat per 100W of electricity.

I'd suggest watching the video.

They don't break the laws of physics. They work by moving heat from one location to another (when it's cold, from outside your house to in your house). To create 100W of new heat, you need 100W of electricity, but to move 100W of heat, you need less than 100W of electricity.
