When winter hits, choosing the right heater can make a huge difference in comfort and energy costs. Two of the most popular options are oil‑filled radiators and fan heaters but they work very differently. Here’s how to choose the right one for your home.
Oil‑Filled Radiators: Quiet, Efficient & Long‑Lasting Heat
Oil‑filled radiators warm up slowly but retain heat for a long time, even after switching off. They’re ideal for:
•   bedrooms
•   living rooms
•   home offices
•   long‑term heating
Benefits:
•   Silent operation
•   Lower running costs
•   Safe for overnight use
•   Even, consistent heat
Fan Heaters: Fast Heat for Small Spaces
Fan heaters warm up quickly and are great for short bursts of heat. They’re ideal for:
•   small rooms
•   workshops
•   quick warm‑ups
Benefits:
•   Instant heat
•   Lightweight & portable
•   Great for spot‑heating
Which Should You Choose?
If you want quiet, safe, energy‑efficient heating, choose an oil‑filled radiator.
If you want quick heat for short periods, choose a fan heater.
