Oil filled radiators | De'Longhi UK

What is an oil column heater? How does it work?

De'Longhi oil column heaters are portable electric free-standing heaters that can bring lasting comfort in your home. They work thanks to a special mineral oil that absorbs heat and radiates it into the room through the outer shell of the radiator.
Simple controls and dials allow you to set the desired level of heat to be emitted by the radiator into the room.

Where is best to use an Oil Heater?

An oil column heater is perfect for evenly heating small to large-sized rooms. As the oil retains the heat, a radiator continues to heat the air even after it is switched off, providing a higher level of comfort and increased heating convenience for prolonged periods of time. It is versatile and can be used in the living room, bedroom or as a temporary heater in a summer house or garden shed. The soft, rubberised wheels on the oil-fired radiators, which are suitable for all types of floors, allow the units to be moved easily for flexible use. They can simply be plugged into a socket without the need for cumbersome installation, allowing the radiator to be used anywhere.

Pros and Cons of Oil Column Heaters

One of the main advantages of oil column heaters is that, because the oil retains the heat, they continue to warm the air even after they are switched off, providing a higher level of comfort and heating convenience for longer periods of time. They can also be installed unobtrusively and flexibly in the room and are extremely safe, thanks to their overheating protection.
It is true that continuous operation can lead to higher consumption, but efficiency can be significantly increased by paying attention to the insulation of the room and correctly matching the radiator output to the size of the rooms to be heated. In this way, consumption can be kept under control.
