| 768845 | 2009-04-27 19:45:00 | We have an oil heater with a timer in our family room. We use it to warm the room from 5.30am - 7am so it is nice and warm when we get up and have brekky at 6am. It is a 2400KW De Longhi model. Ken |

| 768847 | 2009-04-27 20:40:00 | ? What do you mean? To OP.. my suggestion would be a small oil filled radiant heater There is a class of electric fan heater called "ceramic heaters", which in my experience appear to be more efficient than normal electric fan heater. I think Target or Consumer did a feature on these last year. |

| 768848 | 2009-04-27 20:58:00 | I see that Consumer recommends banning un-flued gas heaters since they emit CO2 and moisture. Fair enough. The Dragons and I will be sleeping on the lawn this winter since we have the same fault. Although I frequently scorn Consumer, I have to agree with them that either panel or oil-fin heaters are best for a bedroom. Since you are renting, I guess that means oil-fin background heating. |

| 768849 | 2009-04-27 21:17:00 | How is one electrical heater more efficient than another? Forgetting the fan and forced flow of air I thought electical heater work on a resistor so its volts times amps. In a fixed space ie a room isnt it just ohms law to heat the space to a certain temperature. I think there should be a case for banning lpg heaters without a exhaust to outside. They are dangerous without ventilation and leaving an aperture open for ventilation defeats the idea of heating the space. |

| 768851 | 2009-04-27 22:03:00 | Ban Lucas? I have a nice ACR15 alternator on my camper will I have to remove it and put on a Japanese one? Why would I want to remove a bulky unreliable low powered alternator and fit a compact high power reliable one on? |

| 768852 | 2009-04-27 23:08:00 | I thought radiant and oil filled were two different things? I think I might go look at oil filled. But what brands are good and what to stay away from. Any help appreciated. | MrWhiskers (11134) | ||
| 768853 | 2009-04-27 23:13:00 | Thanks for the link to the heaters in consumer. I can't get it all so will head to the library to do some reading before I look. | MrWhiskers (11134) | ||
| 768854 | 2009-04-27 23:31:00 | They recommend the Creda CREOH24 oil filled heater. :) |
