I can understand how a 220v heater could be more powerful but are they really more efficient than 110v heaters?

I have a well insulated 35 x 12 shop that is attached to the house. I have a very old Arvin 1650/1300 watt 110v heater that will warm it up and keep it warm even if very cold outside. However I don't like to run it on the 1650 setting real long because it will heat the power cord up also.
