This Delonghi heater is ready to use with no assembly required. You can easily transport comfort from room to room thanks to the innovative pre-assembled folding castors. The electronic thermostat can be set to the Eco function to automatically control the power setting according to a target temperature to optimise energy consumption. Delonghi 2400W Radia S Digital Oil Column Heater TRRS1224EG TRRS1224EG OUT OF STOCK 169 4 payments of 42. The column heater features a digital control panel that allows you to cycle through and select one out of the three heat settings, check the thermostat, select a special function such as the Eco function, set the timer and turn the heater on and off. The Delonghi heater’s Real Energy Technology helps efficiently maximise energy use by steadily increasing heat until the desired temperature is reached. The heater provides long-lasting and uniform warmth, thanks to the long thermal inertia of the oil inside the unit which allows the radiator to generate warmth even when the unit is switched off. The Radia S has up to 2400W maximum heating power, meaning that you will have reliable heating at all times. If they use a lower wattage, then it will just be cooler and take longer to heat a room, less electricity consumption = less heat.Ensure your room stays warm and comfortable with the DeLonghi Radia S Digital oil column heater. They all convert 1 unit of electricity into 1 unit of heat. These plug in heaters have their place (ie quick short term heating), but they are general cheap to buy, but cost a fortune to run.Īny plug in heater claiming to be more efficient than another type of plug in heater is just marketing. ![]() For example, as these plug in heaters convert 1 unit of electricity into 1 unit of heat, a reverse split system these days are quite efficient and can convert 1 unit of electricity into 4 or 5 units of heat. Yes there is more upfront cost, but they will pay themselves off quite quickly if you use heating a fair bit (ie in cooler areas). If you can afford it or have the ability to, a reverse cycle split system will cost 4-5 times LESS to run than these plug in heaters. ![]() Even if they stay warm after turning off, that's just the time delay of oil cooling down, given when you turn them on there's a time delay before the heater begins to get warm. There's no extra free heat with these - they simply warm oil up, which the oil then warms up the fins. They have benefits such as being silent, but downsides such as warm up time. Oil heaters are no more efficient than a fan heater. Whether that be a fan heater, column heater, oil heater, etc. They convert electricity into heat - 1 unit of electricity = 1 unit of heat. In saying that, these plug in heaters are pretty much as efficient (inefficient) as each other. Not sure of what the benefit of that is vs oil tbh. It just means instead of oil inside it (to transfer the heat) it uses some other fluid. That's where it's more efficient.įan heater in the bathroom and maybe kitchen. There's no residual heat output keeping the room at a set temperature for longer.Īgain, both might use 2400W when on but an oil heater is on less over time. In a closed off heated room the oil heater retains heat for ages, actively slowing down the inevitable cooling of the room down to whatever the thermo is set to.Ī fan heater loses practically all heat output the moment it's turned off. The only 15-20 min delay in heating up is first thing in the morning when it's been sitting idle all night. If I turn it back on it heats up again super fast even if the unit is cool to touch. I'm talking middle of winter freezing house. If I turn it off and open the door, exposing it to cool air, my 2400W Dragon4 still pumps out heat for at least 15 mins. Oil heaters are far more efficient at this than fan heaters. Here's the problem, the heater is maintaining the room temp. If you keep other variables the same - ie maintain same room temp. ![]() Over a period of hours, the oil heater thus uses less electricity. But the oil heater doesn't have as long a running time over a fan heater. Consume the same amount of power when it's running yes.
