Default oil radiators: any opinions?

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?
