Oil Filled Radiators
Oil Filled Radiators provide an efficient and reliable way to heat individual rooms without relying on central heating systems. Using a sealed thermal oil, they deliver consistent warmth through a combination of convection and radiant heat, helping maintain comfortable temperatures for longer periods.
Designed for domestic and light commercial environments, oil filled radiators are ideal for spaces such as home offices, bedrooms, living areas, and workplaces where targeted heating is required. They are particularly effective as supplementary heating, allowing users to warm specific areas without heating the entire property.
Use cases include providing additional warmth during colder months, replacing or supporting existing heating systems, and improving comfort in rooms with limited or no fixed heating. Portable designs also allow easy repositioning between rooms as required.
Key benefits include energy-efficient operation at the point of use, long heat retention even after switching off, quiet performance with no fan noise, and simple plug-and-go installation. Many models also feature thermostats, timers, and safety cut‑outs for greater control and peace of mind.
YESSS stocks oil filled radiators from trusted manufacturers such as Osily Heating, offering reliable performance and modern designs suitable for a wide range of heating applications.
Popular technical specifications include multiple heat settings, wattages typically ranging from 1.5kW to 2500W, integrated thermostats, timer controls, safety features such as overheat protection and tip‑over switches, and portable designs with castors for easy movement.
For efficient, low-maintenance heating with steady, long-lasting warmth, choose Oil Filled Radiators from YESSS Electrical.
FAQs
What are oil-filled radiators & how do they work?
Oil filled radiators are a type of electric heating appliance that uses thermal oil (also known as thermal fluid) as a heat reservoir.
The electric heating element heats the oil, which then circulates through the radiator, transferring heat to the surrounding air. Warm air then spreads around the room.
What are the benefits of using an Oil-Filled Radiator?
Oil radiators are usually a good choice for keeping one room warm, rather than a whole house. They are energy efficient and retain heat well, helping to reduce energy usage and lower your energy bills, all while keeping your room cosy with even heat distribution.
How Do I Choose the Right Oil-Filled Radiator For My Needs?
- There are three main factors to consider when choosing oil-filled radiator heaters:
- Room Size: Choose a radiator with the appropriate power output (measured in watts) to effectively heat your space.
- Portability: Some models come with castor wheels or handles for easy transportation between rooms.
Thermostat & Timers: Adjustable thermostat and timer settings allow for better temperature control and energy efficiency. All of the models sold by YESSS Electrical have at least three heat settings.
Can I Use an Oil-Filled Radiator in a Bathroom or Damp Environment?
It's not recommended to use an oil filled radiator in a bathroom or damp environment unless it's specifically designed for such use and has the appropriate IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
Using a radiator not designed for damp environments could pose a risk of electric shock or damage to the unit.
What is the Warranty on Your Oil-Filled Radiators?
Our oil filled radiators come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period. Warranty terms may vary by product, so it's essential to review the specific warranty information provided with your purchase.
Get in touch with our team if you have any questions.
How Do I Determine the Appropriate Power Use for My Oil-Filled Radiator?
A general rule of thumb is to have 100 watts of power per square metre of space.
For example, a 1500 watt oil filled radiator should be sufficient for a room measuring approximately 15 square metres. However, factors such as insulation, ceiling height and window size can affect heating requirements, so it's always best to consult with a professional if you're unsure.
