Default oil radiators: any opinions?


"Nimrod" wrote in message
...
My oil radiator take 20 minutes to fully warm up and about the same to
cool
down. Apart from the warmth I do not notice it's on except for the
electricity bill. My radiator is 1 kilowatt (about 11p sterling an hour).

More to the point, anyone here with more indepth knowledge about them?

AFAICS, something electrical warms up the oil that then circulates
around to radiate heat. My guess is that it's more efficient than a
wire-wound electrical bar fire, but although they're quoted in KW, I'm
not sure what the cost of running one is, and how it compares.

Any pointers, O sages?


I recommend a little x-post. You're unlikely to find anyone who can help

you
in this froup.

What are you afraid of, O "Dungeon" Master?
