About this deal

The sleek exterior will fit seamlessly into most interiors and the slimline design means it won't take up too much space. Setting the thermostat on a 500-watt heater will take twice as long to reach the temperature as a 1000-watt, yet the overall amount of electricity consumed will be the same for both. Table figures are for guidance only. Ask a professional heating specialist if you want to know more.) According to the Energy Saving Trust, the price cap (as of 1st October 2023) will be 27 pence per kilowatt for our electricity in the UK.

According to technical service manager at Pimlico Plumbers Bennett, these are the most efficient on the whole. They use an electrical current within thermal oil, heating the oil and circulating it around the heater, a bit like water in a radiator. They are convection heaters, meaning that as the heat rises it draws in cooler air in underneath to be heated in turn - an effect that works best in well-sealed rooms.

Oil Filled–Oil filled radiators take time to warm up, but retain their heat for longer, and can be more energy efficient as they stay warm for a while after being turned off.

Are oil-filled radiators cheaper to run than convector heaters?Try setting the thermostat to somewhere between 15°C and 20°C so you feel comfortable getting out of bed in the morning. Is it cheaper to run an oil-filled radiator than gas central heating? It’s always best practice to avoid having anything within 3 feet of any active heater and avoid drying damp clothes by laying them over the heated fins. Your heater’s power will be measured in kilowatts (kW). For most small- and medium-sized rooms, a 2kW device will suffice. All of the heaters in our review are 2kW or under. Running costs are usually calculated by the hour (kWh). High demand Then we thought that we should be looking at Russell Hobbs Heating and cooling rather than just looking at Heating and cooling or just looking at Russell Hobbs products. By combining the two pieces of data it helps to ensure that the prices and analysis we’re carrying out is as accurate as possible and gives you the closest match to the average price of similar products to RUSSELL HOBBS RHOFR5002 Portable Oil-Filled Radiator as possible. Oil heaters come with a control dial so you can choose to run the heater on a low, medium, or higher setting.

The most important thing is to never place anything combustible on or too close to the appliance. If using a fan heater, consider whether anything nearby can be blown over (it’s also worth noting that fan heaters should be placed in sufficient space to facilitate an airflow from behind). Cold air setting Some fan heaters can help cool you down too. They're not nearly as effective as a dedicated air conditioner, but a light breeze of cold air is better than nothing. We set up each heater in the centre of our test room and run it on the maximum settings, with the room starting at a cool temperature. We monitor how much the room temperature changed over the course of an hour using temperature probes. We found the most drastic changes happen in the first half an hour and increases in temperature become more incremental after that. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan SetsWe assess how easily each electric heater can be set up and how easily understandable the controls and settings are. We used any handles to lift the heater and move it around. While some heaters can be used straight out of the box, others have complicated program and timer settings.
