Despite the price jump from the first heater on this list, this oil filled electric radiator is actually very well costed considering the quality it offers. In terms of sheer output, the De’Longhi Dragon 4 TRD40820T can heat a room that’s 60 metres cubed, and the model has won plenty of praise from people using it in conservatories. All oil-filled radiators on the UK market should be highly energy-efficient and there generally a lot more efficient than other counterparts. That being said, you can increase the energy efficiency of an oil-filled radiator by going for one that has a timer and thermostatic controls, this allows you to have the radiator running on a schedule so you don’t have it on as often and can control its energy efficiency to a T.

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. 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.

Despite the name, oil filled radiators do not actually burn oil as fuel. Instead, they store oil in a reservoir, where it retains heat and diffuses it into the room. It’s a good idea to buy a radiator based on the size of the room you will mostly use it in. Due to the way that oil-filled radiators work, larger heaters will consume more energy to heat the oil inside, but will also be more effective at heating a large room because of the increased surface area. Compact oil radiators often won’t heat a large room as well, but many make up for their smaller size by including more technology to help them distribute heat around a space. There are a couple of downsides. The 24-hour timer only allows you to set one switch-on and one switch-off a day and if you accidentally unplug it, it will lose your settings. This isn’t the end of the world, but something to bear in mind if features are important to you.What’s more, the 4 castor wheels and carry handle offer excellent portability and stability. And, thanks to an adjustable thermostat, you can easily dial in the desired temperature.
