Product Information

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. At low speed it’s quiet enough to use in a bedroom and in a hot summer, the cooler function is very welcome at night.

These products are separated into the correct waste flow at our local depots and send directly to government approved WEEE recycling plants. With a 2000W heat output, the Swan Retro Radiator will not only keep you warm but will bring a sense of retro style into your home too! The item must be securely packaged, preferably in the original packaging using the inserts supplied.The Swan Retro Oil Filled Radiator is a case in point: it looks like something on which you might have dried some wet socks after a rainy dash from the tube in a Graham Greene novel. The most useful addition is a timer, allowing you to set the heating for the moment you wake up or arrive home. Pick the right colour and the Swan Retro Oil Filled Radiator could be a stylish addition to your home, rather than a drab box you wheel out in cold weather. If the item was originally delivered by Initial City Link / DPD / Specialist courier, Electrical-Deals will arrange a FOC collection at your choice of UK Mainland address. Rather than a single flat slab, it comprises nine fins, linked top and bottom by pipework, and capped at one end by the heater and its controls.

Once set up though, the app is actually simple: just a temperature dial, a high/low power switch and a 24-hour timer. When fully warm the heater was throttled back to its lowest power setting, which consumed about 880W. Modern models use ceramic elements, which get more resistant as they get hotter (they have a “positive thermal coefficient”). Their thermostats, timers and adjustable heating modes consume less than one percent of the heater’s energy needs. It’s also worth pointing out that this comparatively slow on/off behaviour combined with gentle heating means there isn’t the blast/freeze experience you get as other electric heaters cycle on and off.According to technical service manager at Pimlico Plumbers Bennett, these are the most efficient on the whole.

Electric heaters may be essential if you live in one of the four million or so households in the UK that don’t use mains gas heating and are a good solution if you’re just looking to heat one room, or only need to heat in short, sharp bursts. This is partly down to the fact that working from home and hybrid working is now more common than ever, but also because of the cost of energy. Upon receipt of your item we will provide a FOC repair including any mechanical parts, if in the unlikely event the unit is beyond economical repair we will provide a like for like replacement.

They’re secured by hand-tightened wing nuts, so it’s the work of just a minute or two, but their black plastic lets down the retro look. So spend some time considering what’s important to you and think about the areas that you’d be happy to compromise or not.If you’re sitting a few feet away from this not particularly handsome oil-filled radiator, initially it’s underwhelming. It took 20 minutes to notice any warmth from the other side of the room, but after that it rose steadily. The controls are basic and the heat output isn't especially high, but it's a silent and effective way to create and maintain an even temperature in a small room. Keep it set to 500W and use the thermostat wisely and it should be cheap to run (slightly cheaper than an equivalent oil-filled radiator). In general, oil-filled radiators are more economical to run than many other types of heater due to the fact that oil retains the heat well.
