Oil Heaters 

Oil heaters are a common column heater style as they are great at providing long-lasting, subtle heat. Oil heaters are known for their ability to retain heat as they rely on heating up oil inside the fins for long-lasting warmth. An oil heater is also energy-efficient and a quiet operator, making them ideal for small to medium-sized bedrooms, offices and beyond.  

 

Oil-Free Heaters 

Oil-free heaters offer a quick and radiant warmth like oil column heaters. However, unlike oil heaters, they don’t rely on heated oil for warmth. Instead, they use alternative heat exchanges such as aluminium or steel to conduct and spread heat throughout the air. As oil-free heaters are lighter and more portable, they’re great for moving around the home into different rooms.  

 

Things To Consider When You Buy a Column Heater 

With several types of heaters available at Betta, it’s worth considering what is right for you! Browse our key considerations when purcahsing to column heater to pick the perfect model for your lifestyle and needs: 

 

Room Size 

Oil-free and oil-filled heaters work best in small to medium rooms where they can warm the space gradually and evenly. If your room size is too big or an open plan, you may need a higher-wattage heating model or multiple column heaters to warm up larger rooms. Check the heater’s wattage or recommended room size to ensure it matches your needs.  

 

Energy Efficiency 

Oil column heaters retain heat well and continue to radiate warmth after being turned off, which can help reduce running costs. Oil-free heaters also provide quick warmth as they don’t rely on oil to warm up. Look for features like adjustable thermostats or a column heater with timers for better control. Whether you’re waking up to a chilly morning or winding down for the evening, to keep it even more energy efficient we recommend timing your column heater with your schedule to save even more.  

 

Portability and Flexibility 

Consider if you need a stationary heat source for a room, or if you’re looking for something more portable. If you are after a versatile heating solution, we recommend opting for column heaters with wheels and built-in handles that make them easier to move around the home. Our oil heaters and oil-free heater models are all portable and light, providing flexibility around rooms of your home. Wheel the heater around from bedroom to home office to enjoy the warmth in any room of your house during winter. 

 

Safety Features 

Important safety additions in oil heaters can be especially useful if there are children or pets in the home. These can include tip-over protection, overheat shut-off and cool-touch surfaces. Fencing or isolating the column heater can be a method of avoiding mishaps. Alternatively, our oil-free heaters are designed with overheat protection, which automatically turns off the heater when it gets too hot. We recommend reviewing the safety instructions on each column heater model to determine the right product for your needs.

Frequently asked questions
How does an oil heater work?

Surprisingly, oil heaters don’t burn oil. They use a sealed internal system. An electric heating element inside the enamel warms the oil inside the fins, and the heat is then radiated out into the room. Because oil holds heat well, the warmth continues even after the heater cycles off, giving you steady, comfortable heating without any fumes or smoke. Be cautious of moving the oil heater around as they are very hot to touch.
Are oil-free and oil heaters energy-efficient?

Yes! In the long term, oil heaters are known for their energy efficiency because the oil and enamel can retain heat long after the element stops running. This means the heater doesn’t need to stay on constantly to keep the room warm.  

 

Oil-free heaters are also energy efficient as they’re quick to warm up, being more efficient in short or medium heating periods. Using features like thermostats and choosing a column heater with timers can help you maintain a comfortable temperature while managing energy use, especially in your well-insulated rooms. 
What room size is an oil heater suitable for?

Size in oil heaters is measured in fins, which are the number of columns per heater. The smallest model is a 5-7fin,and our largest isan11 fin. For compact and small rooms, choose a lightweight and portable design like a 1500-watt5 oil fin heater, that easy to move around. For medium to large rooms, a 2000-watt9-11 oil fin heater is better suited. As oil heaters give off a gentle and consistent heat, it’s important to use oil heaters in rooms that are well-insulated to retain warmth and heat effectively. Visit a Betta store near you to see the sizes that fit your space. 
Do oil-free heaters heat a room as well as oil column heaters?

Both column heaters provide gentle radiant warmth, but oil-free models heat the room faster. Oil-filled heaters still provide a gentle radiating warmth after it’s turned off.
