Morning All,


Does anyone know who makes a wall mounted oil filled radiator please?

    A more constant level of heat without the room temperature dipping and diving.

    Yeh but once the room walls have absorbed heat from any source the whole room will take a long time to cool down.  It acts like a storage system especially if made of bricks or blocks. I can't really see any advantage in having a liquid filled electric heater  compared to a simple inexpensive air heating convector. In fact the term oil filled radiator is a bit misleading, it convects heat more than radiates it. the term oil filled radiator is a misnomer. They might radiate a little more heat if painted black.
