We’re all looking for ways to save money on our energy bills, especially when it comes to heating our homes as the temperature drops. The Black Friday deals are a prime opportunity to invest in an oil-filled radiator.
As many of us work from home, trying to keep warm without having the heating on all day is a challenge.How much an oil-filled radiator costs to runis worth calculating as it will depend on the wattage, however using one can make a difference, heating just the room you are in.
I work from home all week and it’s not viable to have the central heating on all day so I’ve recently wheeled out my trusty DeLonghi oil-filled radiator to keep the room I work in warm. And it works a treat, here's why I highly recommend doing the same.
Why I use an oil-filled radiator
The model I have has a fairly slim profile and sits neatly next to me, emanating a nice constant heat. Although it’s a little heavy, it is on wheels, which means I can wheel it around easily enough to where I need it to be. My only gripe is that the cable isn’t that long so although you can position it, it’s a little restricted by where your plug socket is, unless you plug it into an extension lead.

And if you do the calculations, it costs me around 51p an hour to run my 1500W oil-filled radiator. While central heating can be cheaper to heat the entire house, just heating one room means I don't need to have the heating running for long periods of time. If I keep the doors closed it’ll heat the room up in around 20-30 minutes, depending on how cold it is, and will retain the heat for a while before clicking back on again.
The oil-filled radiator is quiet when turned on too — I can occasionally hear the oil crackling to heat up and a click when it turns itself back on, but other than that there’s no noise at all.
