How much energy does a small space heater use as opposed to a radiator heater?
May 22, 4378 by becca l00
I have a small electrical box and oil heat (which is expensive) which I use to keep the house at 60 degrees. My electrical has tripped/shorted out with both a space heater and radiator heater on at the same time. Is there a better solution without spending a ton of money on oil? Are there any radiator heaters which are more efficient?
Electric heat is not going to be cheaper than gas or oil heat. The electricity has to be generated by burning a fuel in a generator that can only turn maybe half of the energy of that fuel into electricity. If you burn oil at home, all the heat will go in your house. It will be at least twice as efficient.
How do I replace a halogen tube in a halogen tube radiator heater?
Jan 24, 2009 by scopmuter
It's a 2-tube halogen radiator heater with two settings. 800w to switch on both tubes, or 400 w to switch on one tube. The first tube (meaning the 400 w tube) stopped working suddenly, but the second tube still works fine. How can I replace the non-working one?
1. unplug 2. remove cover 3. wear gloves and pop out the ends of the tube.(the gloves are just for safety in case the glass tube breaks,not likely).4. buy a replacement that matches. 5. DO NOT TOUCH the glass on the new bulb,handle with tissue,clean cotton cloth or gloves.(these sort of warnings are usually on the packaging). 6. insert the new bulb. 7. recover.
