Oil Filled Radiators With Timer
Our oil-filled radiators with timers are a convenient solution for heating spaces for a long time. They function by using an electrical heating element to heat a reservoir of thermal oil within the heater and the warmth is then transferred to your space via air convection.
They are also equipped with a range of safety features, including overheat protection as well as tip over switch. They're also a great space-saving option due to their modern, sleek design and compact fins.
Heating Element
The radiators that are filled with oil and have a timer will ensure your room is at a comfortable temperature for as long as you want. They employ the same heating technology as central heating radiators but are more suitable for rooms that are regularly utilized, such as living areas.
A heating element works to warm up the thermal oil in the radiator. When the liquid gets hotter, it expands and forces the colder oil down towards the element, creating a continuous convection cycle. The heat created by the heating element is then transferred to the air, which helps to heat up the room.
As the heating element cycles off it allows the thermal fluid to slowly cool down. This reduces the speed of cooling which helps prevent overheating. It also extends the longevity of your radiator. This is a more efficient way to heat your home rather than keeping the radiator on all the time.
Many of our oil filled radiators come with a thermostat and a 24-hour timer, allowing you to control your heating manually or remotely. This lets you program your heating to suit your daily routine and ensure that your space is heated at the perfect temperature when you need it.
Some of our models come with an advanced eco mode, adjusting the output of heating to decrease energy usage. oil heating radiators can be a great way to reduce your energy consumption without sacrificing the level of comfort you require.
It is recommended that an electrician professional install the element and then wire it to an insulated spur. This is a simple and quick task that doesn't cost much and will guarantee your radiator is safe.
Some of our oil filled radiators with timer are compatible with smart thermostats that allow you to control your heater using the app on your tablet or smartphone. This is a great option if you have an active lifestyle and would like to be able change your heating schedule when you are on the go. Our eco-mode feature can also be found on many of these models, which allows you to automatically alter your heat settings when you're away from home to ensure that your home is at a constant and comfortable temperature.
Convection Method
If you select a model that has a timer you can turn it off and on at times of the day that are convenient for your schedule. This allows you to pre-heat your home prior to when you arrive and turn off the heating after you leave for an energy-efficient method of heating which is ideal for rooms with a lot of draft. The precise digital thermostats in an oil-filled radiator that has a timers will ensure that the temperature you set is accurate - so your energy consumption stays low and comfort levels remain high.
This type of heater is perfect for living spaces because it has superior thermal properties, that provide a comfortable heat throughout the day. Their slow cooling times, high heat retention and sleek designs mean they can be installed in a variety of locations, such as kitchens, medium-sized rooms and bathrooms.
You can pick between fixed and portable heaters, based on the degree of mobility you need and the place you'd like to put it. You can also pick between a classic white or stylish black finish for a contemporary feel.
The internal oil is heated by the electric heating element before being heated by convection in the air and distributed throughout your home. This ensures an efficient, even and consistent heat distribution throughout your space. This is particularly useful in large open-plan spaces as well as corners with draughts, where heating might struggle to reach.
As pioneers in electric heating, Ecostrad has invested in the latest electric heating innovation to ensure our products deliver the highest performance. These heaters are powered by an advanced electric heating component that has various modes of operation.
This intelligent technology allows you to control the heating element manually or via a smartphone app which allows you to tailor your heating to your preferences. Our wide selection of models also feature built-in smart functions, such as remote access and voice control, which means you can enjoy the degree of warmth wherever you are.
Contrary to gas central heating oil-filled radiators require little maintenance. Their sturdy constructions and no moving parts mean that there's a reduced risk of any mechanical issues which makes them a good option for homes with children and pets. They're easy to clean too - simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and they'll keep looking great for long time to come. It is not recommended to refill an oil-filled radiator, however - it's a delicate procedure that should be done by a professional to ensure secure and proper use.
Fixed and Portable Options
As opposed to electric fan heaters oil filled radiators have been developed and built from scratch to facilitate the natural convection process. This unique design, combined with superior thermal properties and precise thermostats mean that these heaters can provide long-lasting warmth for a fraction of the energy costs of other forms of electric heating.
Because of their superior thermal properties, it can take an oil-filled radiator longer to warm up than other kinds of electric heaters. When they do start to heat up you'll notice that the temperature rises more evenly and steadily than with an electric fan heater.
When the heating element has warmed up, and the room has reached your desired temperature, it will switch off automatically. This saves energy by not having to switch on and off constantly. It also reduces the possibility of overheating the diathermic oil within the radiator.
Our range of radiators that are oil-filled with timers come with a variety of additional control options that enhance energy efficiency and security. This includes a 24 hour programmable timer that lets you decide when the heater will be turned off and on. This is ideal for those who like to get up and return to a warm home at the same time every day. This stops the radiator from being accidentally turned off while you are asleep or away for a prolonged period of time.
A handy feature that comes with a lot of our radiators that are oil-filled is the ECO mode. This reduces the frequency of the heating element in order to conserve energy. It is also useful in the event that you have different rates for electricity throughout the day. You can use your radiators at cheaper rates and shut them off when not in use.
Oil-filled radiators are available in a variety of styles and sizes that can be adapted to any space. From oval, square, and flat bar designs to traditional column models there's a model for you. If you're considering installing it, it's best to leave this job to a qualified electrician who can install the radiator and hardwire it into your spur that is fused. After installation, regular bleeding (and the periodic cleaning with a damp rag) should keep your Ecostrad operating at its peak performance.
Safety Features
Oil-filled radiators are an excellent alternative if you are looking for an efficient and safe heating system that is simple to use. They are slow to heat up and remain warm for a long period, due to the diathermic oil inside them that evenly distributes warmth throughout the room. The safety features include overheat protection and tilt switches that automatically shut off the heater when the unit is tilted or pulled over. This is a safer choice around children and pets.
Oil radiators are used to heat 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 they aren't as likely to ignite any objects close to them. They also can be used with lower power costs than fan heaters or halogen models. They do take longer to warm up, and continue to emit heat even after they are turned off.
Although these heaters are intended to be safe with pets and children however, it is always recommended to keep them at a reasonable distance from anything flammable within the room (think curtains, bedding, etc.). If the heater leaks oil from the reservoir or its internal workings it will be extremely hot to the touch and could cause burns, so please make sure the heater is protected and is securely attached to the wall to prevent this.
Modern electric oil heaters have numerous advanced safety features, like overheat protection as well as an automatic thermal shutoff. These features help reduce the risk of a fire. Many models come with remote control, an adjustable heating power and even an eco-mode that helps reduce energy consumption. These models are also portable and come with wheels that allow you to move them around your house. There are many models that have built-in 24-hour timer. This is useful if you live in a hectic lifestyle.
