Oil filled heaters can keep your home and you more comfortable this winter season but there are a few important factors that should be considered when choosing the right one.
Calculating for the correct size of oil filled radiator to be used in a particular space can save you disappointment if you were to purchase a unit that was too small. Multiply the length, width and height of your area using meters. Example: 3m x 4m x 2.4m high = 28.8 cubic meters. Allow 44 watts per cubic meter of room volume and your total comes to 1267 watts needed for this size of room. If you have large windows or a poorly insulated room, multiply by another 1.2 to get 1520 watts.
A recognized name will offer more of a quality achieved oil filled radiator because they have a reputation to uphold. A good service warranty will provide that any problems that may occur will be taken care of with a company that has been around for a while. Three top choices in oil filled radiators are Delonghi with their Advanced Portable Oil-Filled Radiator Heater Model #9707, the Pelonis Digital Oil-Filled Heater HO-158E and the Honeywell HZ690 Portable Oil-Filled Radiator Heater.
Any oil filled radiator heater should come equipped with a tip over feature that automatically shuts off the unit should it be overturned. Also look for a heater that has coasters for easy movement from one room to the next. Test an oil filled radiator heater before purchasing to listen for any type of noise that it emits. Since these heaters do not have fans that drive the heat, there should be little or no noise heard.
Any unit is going to take between 30 and 60 minutes to warm up to full capacity so don't think that this is a flaw in the oil filled radiator heater. They are not driven by a force of intense heat that runs up your electric bill but rather by sealed oil that runs warmed oil throughout the coils to passively release upward and outward. Some units are equipped with a timer that will turn on at a certain time and shut off, as well. This feature is perfect for those who want to use a unit in their bedroom but don't want it to run all night long. Setting the timer 30 minutes before you rise will guarantee a nice, toasty welcome when you get out of bed.
Choosing your oil filled radiator heater is as simple as making sure that it is the right size, made by a reputable manufacturer who offers a warranty, checking for manoeuvrability, safety features and any add-ons that you deem necessary. Reviewers are surprised at the quiet warm heat that models emit and use in various areas where as much as a 10 degree difference is needed. A baby's room, a camper, a drafty window or poorly insulated room will feel like you have selective control on your thermostat without raising your electric bill at all. They are very good heaters for home and will be able to help you save on energy bill this winter.
