Why Choose an Oil Filled Radiator?
The heating element in an oil-filled radiator is the diathermic reservoir. This oil has a large specific heat capacity and it has a low boiling point therefore it is able to hold heat for a long time without increasing temperature.
These heaters are available in portable and fixed models. They have thermostats and timers that can be programmed, as well as safety features such as overheat protection. They are also energy efficient and simple to maintain.
They're strong and durable.
The radiators that are filled with oil are safer for children to handle because they have a lower surface temperature than dry radiators. They're safer than heaters that could burn your fingers when touched. They also don't suck out the air, which can make your home dry and increase your risk of infections. They are also odorless, so you don't have to worry about an unpleasant smell in the home.
Oil-filled electric radiators make use of resistive heating to convert electricity into heat. They are more than 99% efficient, making them ideal to reduce energy consumption. They can have thermostats and timers that can be programmable, which helps to reduce the energy use.
They're also durable, with an aluminum construction that is strong and a diathermic oil. This keeps the radiator looking good and helps prevent corrosion. The majority of models covered by a warranty may be used for a period of 12 years. This gives consumers peace of mind, knowing they're getting a reliable product.
The radiators that are filled with oil radiate warmth into the room, unlike fan heaters which let hot air out. This produces a continuous stream of warmth that can reach every corner of the room. This is a great option for those who desire a warm and comfortable environment. They're also quieter than fan heaters and come with no moving parts, which means they're safe to leave on overnight.
Some models have a digital thermometer which ensures that the radiator is only using the amount of energy required. They're extremely efficient in energy use and can cut your energy bill 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 manufactured using Fast-Flo technology. This improves the quality of manufacturing and production to ensure they are more reliable than the competition. They're smaller than their competitors and can be moved around the room more easily.
They're easy to install
Oil-filled radiators are simple to install. They are, therefore, among the most common electric heating solutions 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 likely to be a heater available on our website that is suitable for your needs.
These models are designed to be simple to operate and safe which makes them a great option for families with young children. Most of our models are fitted with an electronic temperature sensor that is designed to protect against overheating. This is a crucial safety feature since it shuts off the heater when the temperature rises too high.
Oil-filled radiators have another important benefit: they don't dry out the air, like some other types do. This can cause respiratory problems and itchiness on the skin. This is particularly beneficial for people suffering from these issues.
Heating systems that are filled with oil are energy efficient, and you'll have a lower electric bill than with other heating systems. The oil is heated by the radiator using all the power available.
A lot of our radiators that are oil-filled can be controlled using WiFi, which allows you to control your heating with the help of a smart device. This is particularly useful if you want to heat one room or the whole home, as it gives you complete control over when your heating turns on and off.
Our radiators that are oil-filled come with a range of modern features that are designed to enhance your experience. They include a built-in energy monitor, which helps you understand your usage and optimise the amount you use. They also come with an ECO mode that automatically adjusts the temperature and runs at a lower wattage, which could save you more money.
They're energy efficient
Oil filled radiators are incredibly efficient in energy use and require just a tiny fraction of the electricity required by other heating systems that use electricity. Oil-filled radiators are energy efficient since they do not rely on fans for heat dissipation and a large part of the electricity used is used to warm up the thermal oil contained within. This makes them one of the most affordable options for heating your home.
The heating mechanism in oil-filled radiators is a coil of metal resistive wire that when activated by an electrical charge generates heat that flows through the diathermic oils within. This warms up and releases warmth into the room through convection and infrared radiation, evenly heating the space. This removes cold spots from the room and helps maintain an even temperature throughout.
It is important to give your radiator enough time to warm up and release the thermal oil into the room prior to you shut it off or adjust the thermostat. In other words, it will draw power and use up more energy to maintain its set temperature particularly if you're away for long periods of time.
In addition, many oil radiator models from Purmo come with energy monitoring features that can help you optimise and understand your usage, allowing you to keep your electric bills lower. For example the Designer RCTT has open window detection which senses abrupt drops in temperature caused by open doors or windows and turns the radiator to a lower energy mode.
It also comes with other features like adaptive start, which anticipates that a room will require heating and gradually increases its temperature, instead of using full energy to quickly warm. Then it returns to its normal schedule which saves energy and time.
In addition to these energy-saving features, the fact that oil radiators are quiet is another benefit for those who prefer a peaceful living space. Oil-filled radiators are more quiet than older or dry radiators, which require a fan to disperse heat. They are perfect for offices and bedrooms.
Easy to maintain
Modern radiators that are oil-filled have digital thermostats that let you adjust your heating. They operate less frequently, resulting in lower energy consumption and expenses. In addition, they are capable of operating in an ECO mode to reduce the use of energy. This is an excellent option to consider if have multiple rooms that are used for different reasons or regularly it will keep your space at a constant temperature and will reduce the amount of time your heaters switch on and off.
The oil inside the radiators is heated by the heating element, and then spreads through the fins on the outside to release heat into the room. It is an uninvolved heating process, meaning no fumes are released and there is no need to replenish the radiator as the oil acts as a reservoir for thermal fluid. The temperature stays at a a constant level, and the radiators have slow cooling properties. This makes them ideal to use when you are away.
Electric oil filled radiator s can be used anywhere within the home, as opposed to central heating systems which use gas. They are perfect for heating one room or adding a touch of luxury to your living room or bedroom.
Because they don't need gas and require no gas supply, oil-filled radiators are also cheaper to run. They are incredibly efficient and convert every power watt into heat. Additionally, they release around 1/3 of their heat by convection rather than radiation making them perfect for heating open and draughty plan spaces.
Oil radiators are easy to maintain. Oil radiators don't have grilles so you can clean them using a damp sponge or cloth. It is also important not to touch any exposed components of the radiator since they could become hot while operating. The majority of models come with a tilt feature and heat protection to avoid malfunction. Some of our eco-friendly products are also compatible with WiFi control. This lets you change your heating settings remotely using the app on your phone.
