Swan SH60010BN 9 Finned Oil Filled Radiator , Black

Product Information

This isn’t a cheap heater, but it comes with a decidedly basic control panel comprising just a three-level power knob, an uncalibrated temperature dial and a power light. While the chrome knobs look good from a distance, they’re made from thin plastic, again letting down the retro looks.

For many, oil-filled radiator running costs are a hot topic now that colder weather has hit, with more and more of us choosing to use them rather than relying on our central heating systems. We reveal the costs involvedIt’s also important to have a good idea of your expectations in terms of quality too.

It’s not exactly a looker, but this very reasonably priced 2kW convector heater works a charm. Its core boast is that it heats up in a minute, thanks to special mica panels Duronic has developed. The panels also radiate heat sideways, not just upwards, making it a good choice to place by a favourite seat in a large room. (It should not be placed against a wall.)

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.

Standing knee-high, it can be plugged in anywhere, but you won’t be moving it around much: at 50kg, it takes two people to lift and does get very hot. The heat escapes from the vent at the top, making this a convection heater like many others, but after about half an hour the rest of the cast iron body heats up too, radiating warmth outwards for quite a while after it’s turned off. This is far from the only oil-filled radiator you can buy, but it’s certainly one of the most stylish. Rather than a single flat slab, it comprises nine fins, linked top and bottom by pipework, and capped at one end by the heater and its controls. It’s appealing from the side or end on, and since it’s available in eight colours, it should fit well in almost any home.

Energy costs are still at the forefront of many people's minds. This is partly down to the fact that working from home and hybrid working is now more common than ever, but also because of the cost of energy. I used an electronic temperature gauge and timer to see how long it took each heater to warm a room by five degrees. I took my readings from 10 feet away to make sure the warmth spread. The performance of any electric heater will depend hugely on room size and insulation, so I tried them all in both small, well-insulated rooms and larger, draughtier rooms. I also took into account weight, portability, ease of use and how good they looked.

Oil filled radiators are very energy-efficient ways to heat your home. As they take a long time to cool down and can remain warm for long periods of time, oil filled radiators are very cost-effective to run.That leads us nicely into price, where we’re going to spend some time looking at the price of SWAN SH60010CN Oil-Filled Radiator and seeing how that compares to other Heating and cooling and also looking at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products from Swan.

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. Start by converting the watts into kilowatts and then multiply by your electricity cost per kWh. You can do this by dividing the watts by 1,000 and then multiplying by the current electricity cost.I doubt you’d leave it on that long. This is best suited to warming up a small room like a kid’s bedroom just before putting them to bed, or in a small study while working. I tried it plugged in at desk level but it was much more effective at knee-height: the plume of warm air extends outwards and upwards for about six feet. 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?

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. The most useful addition is a timer, allowing you to set the heating for the moment you wake up or arrive home. Upmarket models use an app for this, although you’d get much the same functionality with a smart plug.
