How to choose the best oil-filled radiator for winter?
As winter approaches, choosing the right oil-filled radiator can make all the difference in terms of comfort and energy efficiency at home. Oil-filled radiators are well-known for retaining heat for longer, even after they’re turned off, making them an efficient option in the cold. But what should you look for when choosing the best oil-filled radiator?
Trends in heating technology
Today, energy efficiency and smart control are essential. Electric radiators have evolved to feature technology that makes energy use more efficient, with additions like digital controls and advanced programming. These features allow for precise heating adjustments only when needed, reducing energy consumption. For instance, Haverland’s natural stone electric radiator GEO-DRY incorporates dual heating technology that maximises heat retention while minimising energy waste. With its programmable thermostat and efficient heat distribution, GEO-DRY ensures that warmth is maintained evenly throughout the room, adapting to your lifestyle and helping to save on energy costs.
Energy efficiency
One of the key benefits of oil-filled radiators is their ability to retain heat for longer, reducing the need to keep the heater on continuously. This feature is crucial for saving on energy bills without compromising room temperature. Models like the TTPLUS Electric Radiator stand out with an optimised design for greater efficiency, aligning with the latest trends in sustainable heating. Additionally, some oil-filled radiators are designed with an “anti-freeze” setting that balances warmth and energy use, ideal for reducing costs.
Factors to consider when choosing the best oil-filled radiator
Power suitable for your space
The radiator’s power should match the room’s size to ensure effective heating. For larger spaces, a model with higher heating capacity is necessary, while for smaller rooms, a compact radiator will work efficiently. Haverland’s TTPLUS electric radiator with energy consumption indicator, for example, is ideal for those seeking a balance between size and performance. If you have high ceilings or a particularly draughty room, it’s worth considering a higher-power model to offset the heat loss in these spaces.
Functionality and smart control
Modern radiators offer programming and remote control options, allowing you to adjust them according to your daily routine. Our RCTT CONNECT electric radiator with Wi-Fi can be programmed using our app from your mobile device or tablet, which is especially useful for those looking to optimise energy use. A radiator that you can programme to turn on just before you arrive home and off when you leave allows for tailored warmth and lower energy costs. Many of these features are ideal for those who have fluctuating schedules and want their radiator to be as adaptable as possible.
Choosing the best oil-filled radiator for winter depends on several factors, from selecting the right power for the space to energy efficiency and control features. Haverland offers solutions that align with the latest heating technology trends, providing radiators that not only heat effectively but also help reduce energy consumption.
