Product Information

The Warmlite radiator is another affordable option that’s available with heat outputs of 650, 1,500, 2,000 and 2,500W. Regardless of the model you choose, each offers the choice of three temperatures that efficiently heat the room. The radiator starts heating the air already in the room. When the air gets hot it rises and shifts the cold air to the floor. Oil filled radiators are a desirable heating device that’s versatile and provides a steady flow of heat. Whether you need to heat a small or large room, most brands will offer an array of different sizes and heat output options.

It’s important to be conscious about our energy usage – it helps us look after both the planet and our bills. The heater has a clear and easy to read temperature dial, with a second dial to select the heat power setting of the radiator, with 3 power settings ranging from 600w, 900w and 1500w. Set on 4 castor wheels the heater is portable so you can position it where you need it most, rather than heat your whole house. The radiator also features a tip-over switch and overheat protection to ensure safety and guard against accidents Oil-filled radiators can be cheaper than turning the central heating on if you are only heating one room.

For three months, as from 1 October, electricity is being charged ar a unit rate of Unit rate: 27.35p per kWh and you can use this figure to work out the cost of your oil-filled radiator.Where you only want to heat a single room, such as your home office, oil heaters will usually make more sense than turning on the central heating. However, if you need to heat your entire house, you are better off using central heating, providing you have a fairly efficient emitters such underfloor heating and an efficient boiler. What are the advantages of oil-filled radiators? Oil-filled heaters tend to take longer to heat up than other electrical convection heaters, but keep heating the room longer after they are switched off. Oil filled radiators have seen a vast improvement over the years with better performance and extra safety features. Compared to the likes of a convector heater, oil filled alternatives provide much greater radiant heat, which has the effect of making the room feel much warmer and resembling a standard central heating radiator.

For quite some time, oil-filled radiators have quietly played the role of winter’s unsung heroes by delivering a dependable and energy-efficient means of ensuring a warm and cozy atmosphere in your home. Unlike other electric heaters, they provide a stable room temperature as it outputs a steady flow of heat. They are also much safer to use because there are no exposed heating elements present in the construction. How much an oil-filled radiator costs to run is also dependent on a few other factors. The following will all affect the running costs: They’re also safer than some portable heaters because there is no element that could be a fire hazard and are very quiet, so won’t disturb you while you try to meet deadlines or are just trying to relax in front of the telly. Many people have them by their feet beneath or next to their desk or table. How much do oil-filled radiators cost to run? Oil-filled radiators are great for a long lasting heat. They work by heating thermodynamic oil inside the body of the radiator. When switched on, a heating element submerged in the oil heats up. This in-turn heats the oil, which transfers heat to the body of the radiator. As the radiator gets hot, the room is warmed via both convection and heat radiation.

However, many of the other (more high-watt) heaters come with built-in thermostat controls and sometimes timers, which will allow you to regulate their power output and how long you have them on for. This will help to reduce running costs. Really, it all depends what kind of heater you’re looking for and more importantly how you use it.
