Hello all. I think this question may have been asked before, but how good are Rointe oil filled rads. Please help quick, because I may be buying 2 on the morrow, Thanks.
Hello mate. CEF are charging me £412 for the 1.2 KW and £325 for the 770W. Plus VAT
Rointe heaters are oil filled aluminium radiators. They are claiming 60% energy saving, but having read the report from BSRIA, all it says is that a 1.6kw rad was used to heat a room with 1kw/hr heat loss and it used 1kw/hr. Any electric heater with an electronic thermostat will do exactly the same. All electric resistance elements are 100% efficient at turning electric into heat, so providing that the appliance has an electronic thermostat to accurately maintain the room temperature then all electric heaters will give the same energy usage and the same running costs. Rointe heaters are nothing special and cost stupid money.
