Oil Filled Electric Radiator
Electric oil filled radiators use an electrical heating element which is submerged into the reservoir of thermal oil. This heats the oil which is then reflected warmth into the room.
They also have heat retaining properties which means that even after they have warmed up your room, they can still keep it warm for longer than convector heaters.
Radiation heat
If you're in search of an option to heat your home that will give warmth to a large room in your home, you should consider an electric radiator with oil. These heaters that stand alone are simple and quick to install and they offer superior thermal retention. They also feature an electronic precision thermostat as well as energy-saving features that ensure your home is at the ideal temperature without consuming a lot of energy.
When an oil filled electric radiator is turned on, electricity generated by the socket heats the thermal oil within the unit. The oil releases heat through convection or thermal radiation via the wall of metal. This process is slower than the electric element of a standard radiator but it produces better results. The radiators that are filled with oil also generate radiant heat which allows them to warm surfaces and objects, instead of air. This makes them a good choice for rooms with poor insulation.
A speedy heating time is a further benefit of an electric oil radiator. This will decrease the cost of electricity. They have a long cooling down period for the thermal oil, which helps to conserve energy used to heat. This makes them an excellent alternative to central heating systems that use boilers to warm the entire home.
Additionally, an oil filled electric radiator is more secure than a traditional one because it does not create hot spots on its body. This means it is less likely to catch fire if children or vulnerable adults are around it. Electric radiators that are filled with oil can also be constructed with a range of safety features. They can include a built-in tip-over protection and an alarm clock.
Electric radiators that are filled with oil are easy to maintain, and they also provide high efficiency and long-term heat retention. Most models can be cleaned easily with water or mild detergents. Some models may require professional service by an expert. When choosing an oil filled electric radiator, make certain to select a model that is designed to facilitate the convection process. This will ensure that you get the most out of your heating system.
Convection heat
Electric oil-filled radiators produce a combination of radiation and convection heat. Radiation is what heats the air and surfaces of a room, and convection heat assists warm air to rise and circulate in a room. It is this energy efficiency that makes them as efficient as they can be and provide the same warmth while using less power.
They're smaller than central heating heaters and can be easily wheeled into your home, caravan garage, shed or office. That, combined with the fact that they're powered by electricity, not gas, means that they can be part of a green or low carbon heating system for your home too.
The thermal oil in an electric radiator is heated by an electric element as it heats up and then releases the warmth into the room via the outer fins. The radiators are safe to touch even when they're on. This is great for homes with children and pets that may touch the heater. It also helps stop dust and dry air from building up within your home.
Oil radiator heaters also use very little energy as every watt they consume is converted into heat which can be used within the room. They also have the ability to hold the warmth that they release when we turn them off, which means that they don't have to run for long periods of time to maintain the temperature you want to maintain.
In addition to that, the majority of the radiators we carry are available in a variety of fashionable designs that will complement your interior decor. We offer everything from classic designs like our Yali Digital Plus radiator to more innovative styles like our Squasy E and Impulse E models, which all feature an array of color options that allow you to choose the ideal radiator for your home.
The greatest benefit is that oil filled electric radiators require very little maintenance to ensure they're in top condition. Since they don't have to be bled or topped with fluid and are ready to go immediately after you turn them on. They're also easy to clean and a quick wipe down with a damp cloth from time time is all that's needed to keep them looking their best.
Thermostat control
Many oil-filled radiators come with thermostat control as a standard. These thermostats are intelligent and can sense the temperature of the room and adjust the output of heating in accordance with the temperature, preventing overheating. These smart thermostats are accurate as well - they include precise digital thermometers that will ensure your home remains warm and comfortable without using too much energy. This means your costs will not increase because the radiator isn't turning on and off frequently.
Most models also have an adjustable timer that allows you to set operating hours to ensure that the heating isn't on when the room isn't being used. This is especially useful when you lease out your home, since it can help you keep your energy bills down while still supplying just the right amount of warmth.
Electric radiators that are filled with oil are simple to move and can be easily connected to electric supply in your home with a standard wall plug. Most of them come with wheels or carrying handles to allow them to be moved. Most models come with a protective cover which protects the radiator even when it is not being used. They are usually wall-mounted however some models come with the option of a stand that allows them to stand on their own.
They work in a very similar way similar way to electric panel heaters with the heating element residing within the body of the radiator. The heating element is able to heat the engineered thermal liquid inside the radiator. It then radiates outwards into the room to warm the air. This massive amount of liquid takes longer to heat up than a simple wire element but the results are still as effective.
Oil-filled radiators retain heat even after the heating is shut off. This makes the room more cozy for longer which is a major benefit for homeowners struggling to make their heating cost-effective and efficient. With this extra benefit, and a host of other features such as Open Window detection, European LOT20 compliance, and top-quality manufacturing from the Ecostrad Designer range The radiators are constructed to be as economical as they can be.
If you decide to choose an oil filled radiator with manual controls or one that offers the convenience of digital programming, it's easy to see why they make such an excellent choice for any modern home. They can heat your home efficiently and effectively at the time of use, while also reducing your energy costs. They are equipped with diathermic oil that is extremely heat-retentive.
Maintenance
With exceptional thermal retention properties, and high energy efficiency ratings, oil-filled electric radiators are a fantastic choice for all-day heating in medium to large rooms. They can be placed anywhere, and are perfect to maintain the temperature in areas that are difficult to heat. Easy installation and minimal maintenance makes these heaters a cost-effective and energy-efficient option.
Oil-filled radiators use diathermic fluid, a thermodynamic fluid. The non-toxic liquid has a high boiling temperature as well as a specific heat capacity. The heating element heats the oil, which expands and rises to the top of the radiator, creating convection. The heating element also converts the oil back into a gas, and it is released into the room as radiant heat. This ensures that the radiator is safe and effective for all-day usage, without any toxic or dangerous fumes.
In contrast to central heating systems electric radiators do not require a professional maintenance check or inspection. This allows you to free up time that could otherwise be used for yearly inspections of gas central heating. It also will save you money in the long run since there is no requirement to purchase fuel for your home. There are a few routine maintenance tasks that must be done to ensure your electric heater stays in top shape.
It is essential to turn off your Ecostrad electric heater prior to cleaning. After it has been turned off, you can make use of a vacuum cleaner that has brush attachments to get rid of any loose dirt and debris off the surface of your radiator. After that, you are able to give the radiator a quick wash using a damp rag and pH-neutral detergent.
If your radiator ever requires refills it is a task that should be handled by a professional and shouldn't be attempted at home. It's because different manufacturers use diathermic oil in different ways, so it isn't the same as filling a radiator with standard radiator oil. If your electric radiator does need to be filled in the unlikely event you need to, contact your manufacturer or supplier for assistance.
