10 Things People Hate About Oil Filled Radiators With Timer
Oil Filled Radiators With Timer
Our radiators that are filled with oil and have timers are a great option for heating rooms over a long period of time. The heaters function by heating the reservoir of thermal oils inside the heater by using an electric heating element. The warmth is transferred to the room by air convection.
They also come with a number of safety functions including overheat protection and tip over switches. They are also a perfect fit for any space thanks to their modern, sleek design and slim fins.
Heating Element
The radiators that are filled with oil and have a timer will keep your room at the ideal temperature for the time you wish. They employ the same technology as central heating, but are better suited to rooms that are used frequently.
A heating element is used to warm up the thermal oil in the radiator. As the liquid warms it expands, forcing colder oil towards the element. This causes a convectional cycle. The heat created by the heating element is transferred to the air, which helps warm the room.
When the heating element turns off it allows the thermal fluid to slowly cool down. This reduces the speed of cooling which helps to avoid overheating. It also prolongs the life of your radiator. It is also an efficient method of heating than having the element switched on constantly, reducing the overall cost of electricity over time.

This kind of heater is perfect for living spaces because it is a superior thermal property, that provide a comfortable heat throughout the day. Their slow cooling times, high heat retention, and sleek designs allow them to be installed in many different locations, such as small-sized rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
You can choose between portable and fixed heaters, based on the degree of mobility you want and where you want to place it. You can pick an elegant black or traditional white finish for a more contemporary style.
The internal oil is heated by an electric heating element before being warmed by convection into the air before being dispersed throughout your home. This guarantees a quick uniform and even heating distribution throughout your home. This is particularly beneficial in large open spaces and areas with draughts in which the heating would typically struggle to reach.

It is not recommended to refill a radiator that's been filled with oil, however - it's a delicate task that should be done by a professional to ensure safe and correct use.
Fixed and Portable Options
In contrast to electric fan heaters oil-filled radiators have been designed and constructed from scratch to promote the natural convection process. These heaters are a fraction of the cost of other electric heating systems, due to their bespoke design and superior thermal properties.
Due to their superior thermal properties an oil-filled radiator can take longer to heat than other electric heaters. When they are turned on and the temperature rises, it will do so more evenly and gradually in comparison to an electric fan heater.
When oil filled radiators heating element has warmed up, and the room is at the temperature you want, it will switch off automatically. This conserves energy by not turning on and off constantly. It also reduces the possibility of diathermic oils overheating within the radiator.
Our selection of oil-filled radiators with timer feature a variety of additional control functions that help to improve the efficiency of energy and ensure safety. This includes a 24 hour timer that you can program to set when the heater should turn on and off. This is ideal for those who would like to wake up and return home to a warm house at the same time every day. It also stops the radiator from turning on accidentally while you're asleep or away for long periods of time, which helps to avoid unnecessary energy use and energy costs.
Another feature that is included in many of our oil-filled radiators is an ECO mode that decreases the operating frequency of the heating element to help you save on energy costs. This is also useful in the event that you pay different rates for electricity at various times of the day as it means that you can run your radiators during cheaper rates, and then turn off when they're no longer needed.

Safety Features
Oil-filled radiators are an excellent option for those looking for a safe and efficient heating system that is easy to use. They are slow to heat up and stay warm for a long time due to the diathermic oil in them that evenly distributes warmth throughout the room. The safety features include overheat protection and tilt switches that automatically stop the heater in the event that the unit is tipped or pulled over. This makes it safer for children and pets.
Oil radiators operate by heating the reservoir of thermal oils by using an electrical current. The heat is transferred to the walls of the metal, and via air convection, or radiation to the rest the room. They don't have exposed heating elements so aren't as likely to ignite any objects close to them. They also can be utilized with less electricity than fan heaters or models with halogens. They do take longer to heat up, and they continue to emit heat even after they've been switched off.
They are safe for pets and children to use, but it is recommended to keep them away from things that are that could ignite (think curtains bedding, bedding, etc.). If the heater leaks oil from the reservoir or from its internal workings, it will be extremely hot to the touch and could pose a burn risk therefore, make sure the heater is protected and is firmly secured to the wall to stop this from happening.
Most modern electric oil heaters come with lots of advanced safety features like overheat protection, tilt switches and an automatic thermal shut-off which help to limit the chance of a fire. Many models also offer adjustable heating power, remote control and even an eco mode to reduce the energy consumption even more. These models are also portable and have wheels that make it easy to move them around your house. There are a variety of models that come with an integrated 24-hour timer.
