When compared to other types of electric heaters, oil-filled radiator heaters are much safer. They transmit heat into small areas by warming a special heat-conserving oil that never needs to be replaced. This oil is then circulated throughout the coils of the radiator, which then allows for heat to be distributed into the room.

Oil heaters produce no fumes or flames and feature whisper-quiet operation. Because the oil within the heater never needs to be replaced, oil-filled heaters are maintenance-free. In addition, these types of heaters are compact and portable - allowing you to carry them from room to room. Many also feature carrying handles or a set of casters for easy mobility!

Heater Tip:

Another advantage of an oil-filled radiator heater is that it doesn't dry out the air as much as electric fan-driven units. And because it doesn't use a fan, it's much more silent.

Most radiator heaters can heat areas ranging from 40 to 150 square feet, depending on the size of the unit. Though the larger units have the ability to heat larger areas, the small desk-type units are safer to use because they produce less chances of blowing fuses when hooked to an outlet that is already being used.

Most people use oil-filled radiator heaters because they are perfect for supplementing the main heat in small areas such as bedrooms, offices, and under desks. Their compact size and easily-portable features make it possible for you to move them from room to room with virtually no hassle.
