Product Information

Halogen Heaters are great for instant heat. They get their name from the halogen element inside the bulb or lamp of the heater which, when combined with electricity, heats up and provides a radiant heat.

But when the cold weather closes in during Autumn and Winter, it’s easy to get carried away with exactly how much electricity we are using, especially when it comes to heating your home.

The oil in the radiator acts as a heat reservoir, which stays hot for some time after the heater's switched off. Some are called 'oil-free' and function in a comparable way, just with an internal heating element instead of any oil. On the downside, this type can be quite noisy and they don't have some of the more advanced features you can get with convector heaters.

For three months, as from 1 October, electricity is being charged ar a unit rate of Unit rate: 27.35p per kWh and you can use this figure to work out the cost of your oil-filled radiator. Under current energy prices, a run-of-the-mill plug-in electric heater can cost approximately 40p to 65p per hour to run on full blast. Keeping your home warm will make for a cosy atmosphere, especially when the weather isn’t always the warmest. We've got you covered with everything you need to kit out your home and keep it cosy with our comprehensive range of heaters and radiators.They tend to be cheap to run, but some can be really slow to heat up. Most oil-filled heaters are also fairly heavy and cumbersome, so look out for models that come with wheels. Portable electric heaters use electricity, which costs 27.35p/kWh under the current energy price cap. Depending on how effective the heater is, they can take anything from 30 minutes to an hour to notably raise the temperature of a medium-sized room, so if you're only planning on using it until the room gets up to temperature, it will likely cost you between 28 and 55p. How much an oil-filled radiator costs to run is also dependent on a few other factors. The following will all affect the running costs:

They’re also safer than some portable heaters because there is no element that could be a fire hazard and are very quiet, so won’t disturb you while you try to meet deadlines or are just trying to relax in front of the telly. Many people have them by their feet beneath or next to their desk or table. How much do oil-filled radiators cost to run? Energy costs are still at the forefront of many people's minds. This is partly down to the fact that working from home and hybrid working is now more common than ever, but also because of the cost of energy. Cost per hour is based on using the heater on its highest setting as, following our testing, we think this is the setting you're more likely to use. Calculated using the unit price under the current energy price cap (27.35p/kwH). We're not able to show every retailer and cheaper prices may be available. The electric heaters we testedThe nature of convection heaters mean they usually take a little longer until you feel the heat (compared to a halogen heater for example), but it will heat the whole room evenly. Typically, convection heaters are around 2000W in power output which does make them more expensive to run. On top of this, you might tend to leave a convection heater on for longer periods of time too (compared to radiant heaters). Electric oil-filled radiators are portable so you can heat only the room you are using to reduce your energy costs. Oil-filled radiator vs central heating These can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters.
