Oil radiator

Oil radiators - comfortable warmth for cold days

A sudden cold snap, a draughty room or the need for localised heat - almost everyone knows situations in which you need reliable, mobile electric heating. A modern oil radiator provides a targeted remedy here. It offers you an effective way of providing cosy heat at certain points - flexible, uncomplicated and wherever a socket is available.

Whether in the office, guest room or basement: an oil radiator is not just a replacement, but a useful addition to the existing heating system. It heats up quickly and stores the heat generated over a longer period of time. The heat output remains constant - even after switching off, the radiator stayswarm for a long time .

How does an oil radiator work?

An oil radiator looks like a classic radiator with several fins. Inside is a special heat transfer oil that is heated electrically. The heat generated is distributed across the surface of the radiator in the room.

This produces two types of heat:

• Radiant heat: even, pleasant warmth - as with central heating
• Convection heat: air circulation for rapid room heating

Oil radiators combine both - for effective, sustainable heat. Thanks to modern thermostats and multi-stage heating levels, the temperature and energy consumption can be precisely controlled.

When is it worth using an oil radiator?

A radiator is suitable for many situations - especially where conventional heating systems are not sufficient. Typical areas of application:

• Transitional period: When the main heating is still off
• Guest room: Can be heated up at short notice for spontaneous use
• Basement, garage, hobby room: No fixed, but power connection
• Holiday home or mobile home: Mobile, compact, efficient
• Study: Quiet heat without a disturbing fan

You can create a pleasant room climate in just a few simple steps - independently of central heating systems.

What advantages do modern oil radiators offer?

Immediately ready for use

Plug in, switch on and enjoy. An oil-filled radiator is ready to use immediately without installation. A noticeable base heat is generated within a few minutes - ideal as a quick solution.

Even heat output

A filled oil radiator emits heat over a large area. The oil stores it sustainably. The even heat output ensures a constantly pleasant room climate - without fluctuations.

Silent operation

Since no fan is installed, operation remains quiet. Perfect for bedrooms, children's rooms or concentrated work in the home office.

Heating levels and thermostat for precise control

Thanks to several heating levels, you can set the desired temperature individually. The integrated thermostat ensures that this is maintained - energy-saving and convenient. Some models even offer digital thermostats for even more precise settings.

Safety thanks to tilt and overheating protection

Modern oil radiators are equipped with tilt protection and overheating protection. If the appliance tips over or gets too hot, it switches off automatically. This offers maximum safety - especially for children or pets.

Flexible and mobile

Castors, handles and a lightweight housing make it easy to transport. Do you want to start in the living room and heat the guest room later? No problem - the mobile radiator goes with you.

What to look out for when buying an oil radiator?

Heat output in watts

The heat output determines how large the room can be that the radiator heats efficiently. As a guide: 100 watts per square metre of living space with normal insulation.

Example calculation:

A room with 18 m² requires:

→ 18 m² × 100 watts = 1,800 watts of heating power

An oil radiator with at least 1,800 watts makes sense here. With poor insulation or higher ceilings, you should choose a device with 2,000-2,500 watts.

Number of fins

More ribs mean more surface area - this distributes the heat better. A radiator with a large surface area is particularly worthwhile for large rooms.

Heating levels and thermostat

Several heating levels allow individual adjustment to the heat requirement. A thermostat automatically keeps the temperature constant - this saves energy and ensures a sense of well-being.

Additional functions

• Timer: Heating at specific times - e.g. in the morning before getting up
• Eco mode: Lower power consumption with constant heat
• Digital display: Clear control of the settings

Tilt and overheating protection

Look out for the integrated tilt and overheating protection. These functions significantly increase safety and are now standard in every good electric heater.

Common misconceptions about oil radiators

"They take ages to heat up."

Wrong - modern oil radiators heat up within a few minutes and give off heat continuously.

"The oil needs to be changed."

No - the oil inside circulates in a closed system and lasts for many years. No maintenance required.

"High power consumption."

An oil radiator works in a targeted manner and with precisely adjustable heat output. Thanks to the thermostat and heating levels, you can heat as required - without unnecessary consumption.

Sustainable and conscious heating

Electric heating can also be sustainable. Use oil radiators in conjunction with:

• Green electricity
• Photovoltaics
• Scheduled heating times with a timer

If you heat rooms only when needed, you reduce your electricity costs and protect the environment - without sacrificing comfort.

Practical tips for everyday life

• Notethe location : Do not place the radiator too close to walls or furniture.
• Keepthe doors closed : This keeps the heat in the room.
• Do not cover: Keep ventilation slits and ribs clear - for maximum safety.
• Utiliseresidual heat : Switch off the radiator before leaving the room - the stored oil continues to heat for a long time.

Flexible, efficient and safe - oil radiators are the ideal solution

Oil-filled radiators offer a reliable way to heat rooms quickly and flexibly. Whether as an additional appliance or a temporary solution - the combination of heat output, heating levels, thermostat and safety functions makes them one of the best options in the field of electric heating.

Use targeted heat when and where you need it - with a modern, mobile oil radiator.

Frequently asked questions

How many watts should my oil radiator have?

Calculate with approx. 100 watts per square metre. For 20 square metres, you need around 2,000 watts of heating power.

What does the thermostat do for the radiator?

A thermostat regulates the temperature automatically - this saves electricity and increases comfort.

Is an oil radiator childproof?

Yes - many models have tilt and overheating protection. They switch off immediately in the event of danger.

How long does the radiator stay warm?

Thanks to heat storage, an oil radiator continues to give off heat for approx. 30-45 minutes after switching off.

What is the difference between heating stages and a thermostat?

Heating stages regulate the output manually in stages. The thermostat automatically keeps a certain temperature constant.
