Oil Filled Electric Radiators

What is an electric Oil Filled Electric Radiator?

Fluid-filled electric radiators, also known as oil-filled electric radiators or simply electric radiators, utilise electrical energy rather than gas to generate heat and warm a room.

Oil-filled electric radiators have a built-in encased heating element that heats up using electricity. Inside the body of the radiator are a series of pipes strategically placed around the heating element and filled with oil or specially formulated thermal fluid. Covering the radiator are plates, typically made from aluminium due to its excellent heat conductivity. These aluminium plates not only distribute heat effectively but also provide a sleek, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Oil-filled electric radiators use a combination of radiant and convection heat to warm a room. As the heating element warms the fluid inside the radiator, heat radiates directly into the room. At the same time, the radiator draws cool air from the room over the heating elements, warming it and pushing it out of the top of the radiator to circulate heat efficiently throughout the space.

Which room is best for a Fluid Filled Electric Radiator?

Because oil or fluid-filled electric radiators use both radiant and convection heating, they are well-suited for larger rooms, such as:

• Living room
• Kitchen

• Bedrooms (Master Bedrooms)
• Hallway
• Dining Room

The dual heating method ensures that radiant heat spreads directly from the radiator while warm air circulates to the higher areas of the room, making oil-filled radiators more efficient for larger spaces.

Oil-filled electric radiators can also be used in smaller rooms, like home offices or conservatories, but radiator size and wattage must be considered. Installing a large radiator in a small room may consume more energy than necessary. For smaller spaces, panel heaters such as the Atlantic F127 are recommended for optimal energy usage and cost savings.

Designed for modern homes, many panel heaters include LCD display screens, like our Oniris electric panel heater, which shows energy consumption and allows easy temperature control. Some also offer smart control via systems like Cozy Touch, enabling users to adjust settings remotely, save energy, and reduce environmental impact.

What are the benefits of an Atlantic Fluid Filled Electric Radiator?

Atlantic’s range of fluid-filled electric radiators is designed with the user in mind, offering smart control features, up to 45% energy savings, and a stylish, modern aesthetic.

Our Galapagos electric radiators are engineered to maximise space efficiency. Low and high models fit small horizontal walls, such as in hallways or living rooms. For tall vertical walls or columns in modern kitchens or living spaces, the Galapagos Vertical electric radiator is ideal. Featuring sleek, curved aluminium faceplates, the Galapagos fits seamlessly into contemporary home styles.

Compatible with Cozy Touch, the Galapagos range can be controlled wirelessly, allowing users to adjust heating remotely for example, on the way home from work or if they forgot to turn it off.

All Atlantic oil-filled electric radiators are ERP (Energy Related Products) compliant and can deliver up to 45% energy savings, depending on the model. Available in grey or white, the range is versatile and suitable for any home interior.

To maximise energy efficiency, our radiators include open/closed window detection, which reduces energy consumption when a window is open. Built-in programming modes, energy consumption indicators, LCD displays, ASP (Anti-Staining Process), anti-dust technology, and H-shaped vertical supports make installation easier and improve usability.
