We can wish that the new appointments have qualifications to match. Wish in one hand…
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 5 months ago:
It has its uses.
Like most bespoke items they’re good at some things, not everything.It’s nice if you’re trying to keep an indoor living space warm for a longer period, like overnight.
They typically have a thermostat setting on it to maintain the temperature.
It doesn’t make the same noise as a blowing space heater, as there’s usually not a fan. I’ve heard creaks and such from them.
As noted, the radiative effect can last for a few hours depending on energy loss in the space.

Basically yes.
It adds some efficiency because once you have a radiator full of hot oil in the radiator it tends to release the heat for a long while after the electric is shut-off.
Most electric space heaters send a plume of hot air arcing upwards.
You end up with a nice heat storage device to radiate warmth at the level you want to use it for longer than a normal resistive space heater using the same energy.

This is the same layout as the device I was referring to:

If you’re asking in good faith… Most of lemmy.ml is a tankie echo chamber that silences or outright bans any dissenting discussion. Try bringing up the facts surrounding Russia, China, or North Korea… Only lies and good vibes are permitted.

You’re right.
If they have a heat pump, it could be cheaper to use that over all.

If you’re in an area that doesn’t freeze you can keep the house cold and heat one room with an electric oil filled radiator very inexpensively.
If you’re in a place that freezes you need to keep the house warm enough to avoid freezing the water pipes.
Otherwise have fun, heat one room and bundle up everywhere else.

They said oil filled radiator, not oil burning. I expect it’s a very efficient electric heater like these:

If they are trying to keep one room warm and don’t care about freezing the rest of the house those are very efficient.

Great; more extended sequence CGI montages, coming to your nearest IMAX theater.
I’m good after 2 worm sessions. Thanks.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 6 months ago:
Fair point.
As a note, I don’t recall all of them saying ‘Windows Server’ in the top left of that page.
