If there is no thermostat, it makes no difference. IE 1kw=1kw! If there is a thermostat, go for Oil filled. The Oil retains the heat much better so will continue to give off warmth whilst the thermostat is allowed to switch off the power more often.
An oil filled electric space heater produces a more "even" heating without the hotspots that standard electric space heaters can produce. Also it is not possible for something poked into the oil filled electric space heater to touch the electrical heating element wires as is possible in standard electric space heaters (which would shock you).
One can shop for affordable oil filled electric heaters from many different stores and retailers. Some examples of these stores include Target, ZORO Tools, and Frontgate.
Some of the best electric heaters with timer functions available on the market include the De'Longhi TRD40615E Dragon 4 Digital Oil-Filled Radiator, the Lasko 755320 Ceramic Space Heater, and the Dyson Hot Cool Jet Focus AM09 Fan Heater. These heaters offer efficient heating with programmable timer functions for added convenience.
Oil-filled heaters are generally considered to be cost-effective for heating small to medium-sized rooms. They are efficient because they retain heat for a longer time, even after being turned off, which can reduce electricity consumption. However, their overall running cost depends on electricity rates and how often they are used. In comparison to other electric heaters, they can be cheaper to run, especially for prolonged use.
No. I spoke with customer care representatives of two brands (Delonghi and Holmes) of electric oil-filled heaters, and both said that the oil will not freeze. I asked whether there would be any harm in leaving one of their radiators in a car for several days at below-freezing temperatures, and was assured that this would not be a problem.
YES, -or else they would be useless !
There are many sources that would help one get free maintenance services for oil filled heaters. There is an online site eHow that helps homeowners with these type of projects, at no cost to them.
Halogen
Sometimes. Oil-filled space heaters, which are fire-safe are preferable. Regular electrical space heaters can be used if they are placed in safe places, and turned off before leaving work.
I am assuming you mean an enclosed heater. Oil stay hot longer & does not rust.
Liquid filled heaters use an electric element to warm water or oil which in turn heats a radiator creating natural convective air currents in the room. The thermal mass of liquid holds heat well, minimizing fluctuations in temperature. While liquid-filled heaters maintain their heat for a long period, they also take longer to heat up and therefore are no more efficient than non-liquid filled models. The liquids should have/be: - Low viscosity. - Do not attack materials of the radiator chemically. -Not combustible or explosive.
Oil heaters can burn badly if touched when hot. Obviously. oil is dangerous if it gets into any wounds, eyes, or the mouth when filling them.
