oil radiators: any opinions?
"Gordon Hudson" wrote in message .. . "John McLean" wrote in message ... The law of conservation of energy applies. kW is kW is kW. The only difference is the thermal time lag due to the mass of oil etc. Radiant heat, will give a quicker response time than the convection heat and an illusion of being a better heat source; but bucks for bucks, I would go for the convection type: - also less of a fire hazard. Fan heaters give the quickest heat up of a room and itf you have one with a good thermostat it won;t cost much to run as it tops up the heat. What the f**k has this to do with m/c? |
