oil filled radiator fuel efficiency
Oil filled radiators are an economical electrical heating option that can be exploited to stay warm as they days and nights get colder and colder. As with other electrical heating devices oil filled radiators must be connected via their electrical cable to a power outlet so that they may draw the power required for their operation. Once connected to an electricity socket the heating appliance may be turned on. As the heating elements of the radiator begin to warm, the oil that sits inside the heater begins to warm up and pass the warmth to the outer parts of the radiator which will eventually begin to warm the area where the radiator resides.
When we talk about oil filled radiator fuel efficiency this has nothing to do with the oil that is contained within the machine. Rather it is to do with the amount of electricity that it uses. Oil filled radiators provide a different kind of heating effect than many other electrical heating appliances. By this we mean that unlike halogen heaters for example that literally start warming the vicinity as soon as they are powered on, oil filled heaters take longer to start their warming effect. Another difference is that their heat is not quite as intense as the halogen electrical heaters. So in effect they take longer to heat up and provide a less extreme level of heat that their halogen lamp counterparts. However this does not mean that they are worse, just that they are different.
On the other side is that once a halogen appliances is turned off, it looses its heat very rapidly. So in effect, these devices only give off a heat when they are actually turned on. Conversely, oil filled radiators continue to give off heat for long after they have been powered off. So it depends upon whether you are after a high or low intensity heat and how quickly you want the temperature of your room to change.
For a given level of electricity, a halogen style heater will heat a room hotter for a shorter period while an oil filled heater will raise the temperature to a lesser extent but for longer. Assuming that both household heating devices are new then their fuel efficiency will be similar, it really just depends on what sort of heating you desire.
