Why Oil Filled Radiator Heaters Are Most Preferred Over Electric Or Propane Heaters
By Klara Rowan
An oil-filled radiator heater can become quite an asset to your home as cold weather sets in. Somehow, you always forget about the drafty areas of your home when it is 70 degrees and sunny outside. But let those subzero temperatures start along with a kicking wind and suddenly you remember.
What is an Oil Filled Radiator Heater?
Unlike portable electric heaters that radiate heat then use a fan to blow the heat in a directed area, an oil-filled heater has oil that is stored inside of a sealed compartment of coils and fins. The heat works by convection and the warm air generated floats up without any type of fan. Advanced models have a timer function that lets you set the unit 30 minutes before you get out of bed so it does not operate all night.
