Are small oil filled radiators cheap to run?
Oil-filled radiators are cheap to run – and there is no need to replace the oil.
Are oil filled radiators worth it?
Oil filled radiators are excellent at retaining heat so less energy is needed to top up temperatures in your room space. Their longer heat up times aren’t to everyone’s taste – in which case we recommend a dry thermal radiator such as the Haverland RC Wave – but they’re a great choice if you want long-lasting warmth.
Are small oil heaters safe?
Oil-filled heaters are the safest type of heaters The metal body and the oil, therefore cover the heating element and make it impossible to touch it. Most space heater accidents are caused by space heaters with exposed heating elements that get hot enough to burn things.

Are oil filled radiators cheaper to run than electric?
Oil-filled heaters are generally cheaper to run due to better heat retention. Though they take longer to heat up, the can then change to ‘low’ power and use much less energy to maintain a warm temperature. Electric fan heaters lose their heat quickly, so need to stay on a higher power to keep the temperature high.
Are oil Free radiators noisy?

Do oil filled radiators give off carbon monoxide?
