Why Choose an Oil Filled Radiator?
The heating element of an oil-filled radiator heats up the reservoir of diathermic oils. The oil has a high specific heat capacity and a low melting point. It can therefore hold heat for a long time without increasing temperature.
These heaters are available in fixed and portable versions. They have thermostats, timers that can be programmed, as well as safety features like overheat protection. They are also energy efficient and easy to maintain.
They're strong and durable.
The radiators that are filled with oil are safer for children to handle because they have less surface heat than dry radiators. They are more secure than other heaters that can cause burns to your fingers if they are touched. They don't blow out air either, which can dry your home and increase the risk of contracting an infection. They are also odorless which means you don't have to deal with an unpleasant smell in your home.
Oil-filled electric radiators make use of resistive heating to convert electricity into heat. They are greater than 100 percent efficient in this, making them ideal for reducing energy consumption. They can come with thermostats and timers which are programmed, which can help reduce energy consumption.
They're also incredibly durable, with a robust aluminium construction and an extra layer of diathermic oil. This keeps the radiator looking good and helps prevent corrosion. Many models that are covered by a warranty can be used for up to twelve years. This provides peace of mind to the buyer, knowing they're purchasing a product that can last for a long time.
Unlike fan heaters, which push out hot air, oil filled radiators gently radiate warmth into the room. This produces a continuous stream of heat that can reach every corner of the room. This is a great option for those who prefer an inviting and cozy space. They are also quieter than fans and come with no moving parts, which means you can put them on all night.
Certain models come with an electronic thermometer that makes sure the radiator is only using the amount of energy necessary. These radiators are incredibly energy-efficient and can cut down your expenses significantly. They're also more efficient than other kinds of radiators because they keep heat for longer periods of time and operate at a lower temperature.
The majority of models from brands like VonHaus, Purmo, and Ecostrad are made with Fast-Flo technology. This improves manufacturing and quality to make them more reliable than the competition. These heaters are smaller than their counterparts and can be moved around a room with ease.
They're easy to install
Oil filled radiators are easy to install. They are therefore one of the most widely used electric heating solutions that are available. They come in a range of styles that are designed to encourage convection as well as being available in various sizes, meaning there is bound to be a heater on our website that is suitable for your needs.
wall mounted oil filled radiator are also designed to be secure and user-friendly making them an excellent choice for families with children. The majority of our models come with an electronic temperature sensor that is designed to protect against overheating. This is a crucial safety feature as it shuts the heater off if the temperature gets too high.
The radiators that are filled with oil have another significant benefit: they don't dry out the air, like some other types do. This can cause irritation and respiratory problems on the skin. This is especially beneficial for anyone who suffers from these conditions.
The best thing about oil-filled heaters is that they are engineered to be as energy efficient as is possible and that means you will have a much lower electricity bill than other heating systems. This is because all of the electricity used by the radiator is used to heat the oil within it, so none of it is wasted.
Many of our oil filled radiators are available with WiFi control, which enables you to control your heating from a smart device. This is particularly useful for heating a single room, or even the entire home. You can set the time that your heating will turn on and off.
Additionally our radiators that are oil-filled are equipped with a range of other features that are designed to enhance the user experience. Included in this is an energy monitor that assists you understand and optimize your usage. They also come with an ECO mode that automatically adjusts the temperature while operating at a lower wattage. This could save you more money.
They are energy efficient
Oil-filled radiators are extremely energy efficient and consume only a fraction of what other heating systems that use electricity require. This is due to the fact that they don't rely on fans to dissipate heat and a large proportion of the energy utilized is used to heat the thermal oil inside. This makes them one of the most affordable alternatives for heating your home.
The heating mechanism in oil-filled radiators is made up of an iron resistive wire that when activated by an electrical current generates heat that is absorbed by the diathermic oil inside. The oil warms up and releases warmth into the room through convection and infrared radiation, uniformly heating the room. This eliminates cold spots and maintains an optimum temperature in the room.
It is important to give your radiator enough time to warm up and release the thermal oil into the room prior to you turn off the radiator or adjust the thermostat. It could continue to draw energy and draw power to keep the temperature set even when you're away for a prolonged period of time.
Purmo oil radiators have energy monitoring features built in that allow you to optimise and understand how you utilize your heating system, which can reduce the cost of electricity even more. For example the Designer RCTT has open window detection that detects sudden drops in temperature due to open doors or windows and turns the radiator into a low-energy mode.
In addition, there are other features like adaptive start, which anticipates that a room will require heating and gradually raises its temperature, instead of using full power to rapidly warm. It then returns to its regular scheduling and saves you time and energy.
Oil radiators are also quiet, which is a great benefit for those who want peace in their home. Oil-filled radiators are more quiet than older or dry radiators that require a fan to distribute heat. They are perfect for offices and bedrooms.
They're easy to maintain.
Modern radiators with oil come with precise digital thermostats that allow you to fine tune your heating. This means they'll run less frequently, leading to less energy usage and cost. They also can operate in an ECO mode, which reduces the energy usage. This is an important option to think about, particularly in the case of multiple rooms that are frequently used or for different purposes. It will ensure an even temperature throughout the room and decrease the amount of time your heaters are switched on and off.
The oil inside the radiators is heated up by the heating element, and then spreads through the outer fins to release heat into the room. It is a smokeless process, which means that no smoke will be released and the radiator doesn't need to be refilled as the oil acts as a reservoir for fluid. The temperature is maintained at a steady level and the radiators have slow cooling characteristics, making them suitable for use when you're away for long periods of time.
Electric oil filled radiators can be used anyplace within the home, as opposed to central heating systems that use gas. This makes them ideal for heating just one room, or for adding a a touch of luxury to your living room.
Because they don't need gas for supply and require no gas supply, oil-filled radiators are also cheaper to run. They are extremely efficient, and convert every watt of electricity into heat. They release around 1/3 more heat via radiation than convection. This makes them perfect for heating open spaces and areas that are draughty.
In terms of maintenance oil radiators are easy to clean. They don't have grills, so they can be cleaned with a damp sponge or cloth. It is also important to avoid touching any exposed components of the radiator as they can become hot while operating. The majority of models come with heat protection and tilt to avoid malfunction. Certain of our eco-friendly models are also compatible with WiFi control. This allows you to change your heating settings remotely via the app on your phone.
