Room heaters become essential during chilly winter days, especially at night. Wearing warm clothes is not enough because to bear cold winter days, you need something that can keep your room’s temperature comfortable.

There are different types of room heaters available in market, and the most common among them is oil filled radiator heaters. These type of heaters are more efficient in the even distribution of heat across the surface. Moreover, oil-filled room heaters use less power and save money on the electricity bill.

Oil-filled heaters use an electric current to heat the pre-filled thermal oil and circulate it around the fins. The presence of oil makes the oil-filled heater a less compact and heavy solution. They take longer time than a fan heater or a heat convector to warm up. Nevertheless, if you have kids or pets at home, you should go with an oil-filled heater over the other options.

How does an Oil Filled Radiator work?
An oil heater is one of the most popular types of room heaters that is used to distribute heat and warm the entire space. Also known as an oil filled room heater or oil filled radiator, the oil is electrically warmed, which helps the appliance spread heat through the room. An oil room heater is safe to use, and if you are using the Glen oil filled heater, then you will also be able to adjust the heat setting. The wave fins of the oil based room heater ensure that the room heats quickly and there is an even distribution of heat. If you are looking for a safe heating option this winter, then it the ideal home appliance for you.
