  • How To Select Best Oil Filled Radiator?

    Before you purchase an oil filled radiator, you need to consider the following consideration before ordering.

    Efficiency

    The purpose of the oil filled radiator for most people is to help keep heating costs low. Pay attention to the output and voltage numbers listed on the package.

    Many manufacturers will include an approximate dimension for the size room the heater was designed for. Remember to get the maximum heat output for the least amount of energy.

    Safety

    Safety is always an issue when using oil filled radiators. A good heater should have an automatic shut off in case the heater is upended.

    It should also have handles that stay cool. The wheels and feet should be non-slip and keep the heater elevated high enough to avoid carpets or hardwood floors beneath.

    Most of the units sold today in the UK are safe if operated proper way. Never plug one into an extension cord, as they are not rated for the Amperage that they draw, and this can cause a fire hazard.

    Timer & Thermostat

    These are necessary as they regulate a room’s temperature for comfort as well as turn off the units to avoid wasting your electricity raising your electric bill.

    The thermostat also maintains the temperature of the radiator and makes sure the temperature in the room is as per your wish.

    Noise

    Just like many other electronics, oil filled radiators produce sound when in operation. However, you should get the least noisy one. Most new oil filled radiators are almost silent.

    Design

    Most oils filled radiators have timers and varied heat settings. Some have digital displays, and others use more basic dials and buttons for preprogrammed heat settings. While many heaters look like radiators, others have a sleeker and convert design.

    Whatever the design, be sure it is something that you are comfortable with. Since this heater will be a part of the room’s decor, make sure that you like the look of it and that all of the moving parts are made from sturdy material. Broken wheels and cracked casings are a surefire way to ruin your investment.

    Weight

    Choose a model that is easy to lift. Weight is important for those who have small children or senior citizens in the home. Some heaters are prohibitively heavy, making moving them around from place to place a little difficult.

    On the other hand, if the heater is too light it can be easily knocked over. Find a heater whose design and weight make it less likely to fall on small children and cause injury.

    LifeSpan

    To get value for your money, you always need to consider the lifespan of the product you are buying. It is best advisable to buy a long lasting radiator even if you have plans to buy another one soon.

    Warranty

    Nobody likes to read the fine print on the product warranty, but it is important. How long is the product covered under the factory warranty? What if the product is faulty and causes damages? Who handles repairs? Take the time to get familiar with what the warranty entails and who you should call if there is something wrong with the heater.
    Buy a radiator with at least one year warranty within which it will have served you and paid back a bit of its value. Some of the best oil filled radiators offer a ten-year warranty, and this is a good indicator of quality.
