Oil Heater Vs Normal Heater: Winter has arrived in North India and now a question is echoing in every house: which room heater to buy? The two major options in the market are oil-filled heaters and normal room heaters. Both provide warmth but there is a big difference between them in safety, power consumption, air quality and comfort. Let us know which heater will be right for your home.
What is an oil-filled room heater?
In oil-filled heaters, thermal oil is filled inside the metal fins which gets heated by electricity and gradually spreads stable heat in the room. The oil does not burn in it but keeps circulating for years, making it completely safe.
- in the bedroom or children’s room
- for the elderly
- Long-term heating in closed rooms (up to 4–8 hours)
- Price is a bit high but safety and comfort are excellent
What is a normal room heater?
Normal heaters consist of a fan, coil, or quartz element that directly heats the air. When this element turns red, hot air is thrown forward.
- in small rooms
- When instant heat is needed
- Fast heating in low budget
- Difference between oil heater vs normal heater
Oil heater gives natural and uniform heat like sunlight, no dryness, no burning smell. At the same time, the heat of a normal heater is fast and dry, which may feel uncomfortable in the long run.
Apart from this, there is no open coil in the oil heater nor any risk of burning or fire. Safe for children and pets. In a normal heater the coil remains exposed due to which there is a risk of burning or short circuit.
Oil heater does not burn oxygen, hence the humidity of the room remains intact. A normal heater burns oxygen and makes the air dry, which can cause a sore throat or cough.
Oil heater consumes more power but maintains stable heat for a long time. Normal heater works at low power but only for a short period of time. Normal heater is better for short term, oil heater is better for long term.
The oil heater takes 10–15 minutes to heat up. Normal heater provides heat in seconds.
After all, which heater to buy?
Choose an oil-filled heater if you want a safe option for children or the elderly, dry air, all-night or long-term heating, superior comfort and a long life device.
At the same time, choose normal heater if you want instant heat, low budget solution, lightweight and portable heater.
