Swan SH60010GRN 9 Finned Oil Filled Radiator, Grey

Product Information

If your bank account runs deep, take a look at this Warmehaus-designed wall mounted oil filled radiator. This thing has 5 heat settings, more features than a Swiss Army knife, and its stylised design makes it perfect for any modern home or apartment. (This is especially true if you have wooden floorboards to complement its tasteful, striped visage.) It’s a good idea to buy a radiator based on the size of the room you will mostly use it in. Due to the way that oil-filled radiators work, larger heaters will consume more energy to heat the oil inside, but will also be more effective at heating a large room because of the increased surface area. Compact oil radiators often won’t heat a large room as well, but many make up for their smaller size by including more technology to help them distribute heat around a space.

It’s common sense that bigger heaters consume more energy. Therefore, it’s wise to settle for smaller heaters where they suffice. Larger radiators typically require more power than space heaters designed for the home or office, so you should bear this in mind when budgeting for your next heater.When gauging value, you should look past the upfront cost. A cheap oil heater might look good on the surface, but unfortunately, all cheap things tend to cost more in the long run. This is especially true for oil filled radiators. We sell electric radiators with all kinds of different heating elements, so why choose an oil filled radiator? Well, oil and thermal fluid filled radiators have two main benefits. Firstly, they ensure an even heat distribution. The thermal fluid heats evenly along the entire surface area of the radiator, whilst radiators with solid state heating elements may have cold spots where the heating element is furthest from the surface. Secondly, thermal fluid elements can be specially formulated to maximise heat retention. Superior heat retention makes a radiator more efficient, because it does not need to use so much power to maintain its heat. Oil filled radiators typically take longer to heat up than aluminium element radiators, but they also take longer to cool down. This makes them a more efficient choice in larger rooms or rooms that are in constant use. That’s because oil-filled radiators convert nearly all of the energy they consume to heat, and even after you turn them off, they will carry on radiating warmth. They’re safer than some portable heaters, as there’s no element that could be a fire hazard, and don’t make any noise, so you can use them in a bedroom or office without being disturbed. We’ve selected the best oil-filled radiators you can buy – as well as what to look out for when purchasing.

Heater companies do their best to offer turnkey warming solutions, but it’s up to you to use them properly. Otherwise, you run the risk of poor heating, high power bills, or even fire hazards. Follow these tips to improve the efficiency and safety of your oil-filled heater.

VonHaus has included a 2-year warranty with this heater, and at 1,500 Watts, this model can heat rooms up to 25 square metres, which is quite solid for a heater of this type and price range. It’s also lightweight but sturdy, with a plug that never gets hot.

Oil filled electric radiators are sometimes called thermal fluid electric radiators to distinguish them from old-fashioned oil-filled electric radiators. Oil-filled heaters are a fantastic choice for the home or office, and I hope that our list of the best oil filled radiators will help you make an informed decision. The size of the radiator, the power source, and the heat output are the primary — but not the only — efficiency determinants. 1. Size of the Radiator Though it was never meant to fight among the heavy weights, this 1,000W model from Celsius is still one of the best wall mounted oil filled radiators out there.

The Bottom Line on Oil Filled Radiators

The Warmehaus Slimline Fluid Inertia includes a 7-day, 24-hour timer, frost-protection, and a sturdy aluminium exterior. It features 11 fins with a whopping 1,800 watts, which is quite intense for a slim, wall-mounted heater. Although the installation is straightforward, I’ll urge you to have a qualified electrician install this item for maximum safety and peace of mind. Since the radiator has 3 power settings — 1,000W, 1,500W, and 2,500W— you may be content with the lowest heat setting on most days. That said, it you don’t have central heating, simply crank this 11-fin wonder to full power and it will keep you warm even on the coldest of winter nights. The Pro Breeze 2500W features 11 oil-filled fins, ensuring that radiant heat permeates your room swiftly once you switch it on. The built-in thermostat lets you regulate the temperature with straightforward controls, so it’s easy to maintain the room temperature at the desired level any time of year.
