Winters are setting in fast and North India will be engulfed in cold weather soon. Experts are predicting that this season will be harsher than usual. This is probably the right time to prepare for the season and investing in a good quality oil filled radiator (OFR) room heater is the best bet. While you may be someone who enjoys snuggling in a warm blanket, the dry air may cause major discomfort in breathing. An OFR can help you get through the season without the discomfort of dealing with dry air and oxygen depletion. Here are a few benefits of using an oil filled room heater.

It's Warm and Comforting for Longer Duration

An oil filled radiator room heater is filled with diathermic oil. This mineral oil is capable of transferring heat evenly to entire unit and heat up fast, making it warm to the touch. The warm radiator then heats the air in the room. Since the oil heats up without getting consumed, an oil heater is literally maintenance free and has a long lifespan. An in-built over-heat protector further ensures prevention of heating element burnout, making it last even longer.

OFRs are Energy Efficient

Oil filled radiators are energy efficient. With adjustable thermostat, you can set the room temperature to your liking. Orient Electric OFRs come with a fan that gives a gentle blow of air, thus spreading air to farther corners of the room. In addition to this, Orient OFRs have ‘S’ shaped fins which provide a wider surface area. These OFRs heat the room 11% faster in comparison to straight fins. What’s cool? Even after you turn it off, the oil stays warm for a long time, so it keeps the room cozy for a while.

Safer than Conventional Room Heaters

OFRs work on the concept of heat convection. The element is concealed inside the body of an OFR and doesn’t come in direct contact with the air. Thus, it doesn’t cause oxygen burning from the air present in the room. An oil filled room heater also doesn’t dry up the limited moisture present in the air. Hence this room heater is recommended to be installed for room with kids or elderly people in the house. Orient OFR comes with a tip-over protection ensuring that the unit automatically turns off if it is accidentally knocked over.

While the pointers mentioned above suffice a multiple reason to buy an OFR, here are additional benefits of owning one.

  • Surface temperature of an OFR heater is moderately high, making it safe for children and pet.
  • Once conventional room heaters are turned off, the heating effect is immediately lost. On the contrary, an OFR retains heat for a longer duration and is ideal to give a prolonged heating in a medium to large room with consistent cold temperatures.
  • Orient Electric OFRs come with caster wheels and easy grip handle, making them easy to shift from one room to another. Also, they come with long power cord ensuring better accessibility.
  • OFR has a sleek body and consumes very little storage store space. Orient OFRs come with cord winder and socket dock that makes storage hassle free.
  • OFRs operate silently, so you won’t have to worry about any unwanted noises while they’re running.
You can easily find an oil based room heater online, and can choose between a 9, 11 and 13 fin OFR, depending on the size of your room. You can operate your OFR on a low, medium or high heat setting, depending on the preference of warmth that you may require during mild, moderate or chilly winters. While the initial cost of buying an OFR may be slightly higher than a conventional room heater, the benefits that it delivers are worth every penny.
