Winter is here! For those who enjoy oil column heaters. I tried looking out for one on the street but no luck, caved into buying the Delonghi Radia S with Timer.
Compared to air heater, I find it doesn't make the air dry and it's a lot quieter. Not as energy efficient as a reverse cycle AC but some of us renters don't have that luxury.
Potentially more energy efficient if you get the heat sitting directly next to it but do not officially endorse this for safety reasons.

    No guarantee for renters, but it can be worth asking the landlord/real estate for a request to install a split system. It will be a tax write off for landlord, improves the value of the property and keeps the tenant happy. If the landlord is reasonable they may be accommodating. It will then provide cooling in summer too.

    There may be incentives too from the government for landlords to install energy efficient upgrades.

    In general a modern split system can use 1/5th the power of a plug in heater. All plug in heaters are the same efficiency in terms of converting electricity into heat. Some work out cheaper if they are radiant - for example only heating the person not the space, but that doesn't change the fact they are still only producing 1 unit of heat for 1 unit of electricity consumed. A split system doesn't create heat, rather it pumps heat from outside by using the refrigeration cycle (in reverse), so get 4-5 units of heat for 1 unit of electricity consumed.

    In terms of air heaters making the air dry, I don't know about most people but I'm always struggling to lower humidity in my house during winter anyway, so I don't see this as a problem, but surely you could just have an atomiser going at the same time if this was an issue, or have a clothes rack of damp washing hehe (invariably in winter anyway).

      my tenants are welcome to install a split system at their cost
      or they could just put a jumper on.

        You are too kind, me landlord!

      A note a though, split unit will dry the air out vs these oil heaters wont… big difference for those with babies and or with skin issues or already dry skin

        What's the science behind this? I can't work out why drawing in the air from the room, warming it, and pushing it back out should change the humidity of it??

        I get in cooling mode, air going through a cold evaporator, which removes humidity as condensation, would dry the air/room out, but in heating mode, the indoor air passes over a warm coil.

        How is that any different from indoor air passing over a hot fin of an oil heater? The only difference is forced fan, but that doesn't change humidity level?

        I doubt anyone's indoor humidity is reaching 30% or lower which is undesirable.

      Good advice to try asking the landlord though some might be afraid of risking a rent increase. Also the AC might not always be near the room you want it in.

    I just bought this heater last week! Great unit - I use it to heat up only the study when im WFH as opposed to using the central heating to warm the whole house. Best thing about the 1500W u it is you can choose 700/800/1500W settings - as opposed to the 1000W unit which is always 1000W. Helps reduce the power draw - especially if you have solar on cloudy days.
