Why should I replace my electric storage heaters with oil-filled radiators in Croydon?
Many local homeowners are swapping old storage heaters for oil-filled radiators, and for good reason. This switch offers you better control, cost-savings, improved comfort, and a safer, more modern approach to home heating.
Enjoy More Control Over Your Heating
Instant warmth and personalised room settings
Traditional storage heaters work on a set schedule, often leaving you too warm when you don't need it and cold when you do. Oil-filled radiators break that frustration with true flexibility. At Quick Fix 24/7, we know how valuable it is to take charge of your comfort, especially through chilly Croydon evenings.
- Adjust heat instantly with a simple dial or digital display
- Tailor temperatures in each room to your preference
- Use built-in timers or thermostats for personalised routines
- Stop wasting power heating empty rooms
Upgrade to oil-filled radiators, and take full charge of your heating.
Lower Your Running Costs
Save real money on your heating bills
One of the main reasons people in Croydon contact Quick Fix 24/7 about upgrading is the high cost of running old storage heaters. Despite using Economy 7 tariffs, a lot of heat is wasted when no one's home. Oil-filled radiators are far more efficient.
- Nearly all electrical energy is converted to usable heat
- Only heat rooms in use, when you actually need them
- Eco-modes cut unnecessary consumption on mild days
- No more blasting heat overnight and losing it by morning
The result? Noticeably lower energy bills for Croydon households.
Better, More Even Heat
Consistent warmth without hot and cold cycles
Many customers tell us that storage heaters overheat their homes in the morning and cool down far too quickly in the evening. Oil-filled radiators are designed for comfort.
- Provide steady, ambient temperature throughout the day and night
- No burning smell or dry air
- Improved airflow, so heat is spread around rooms evenly
- Suitable for bedrooms, lounges, and home offices
Enjoy reliable, comfortable heat that lingers, even after the unit is turned off.
Quieter Operation
Peaceful heating for your modern lifestyle
Storage heaters are notorious for clicking, humming, or rattling when you least want it. Oil-filled radiators, on the other hand, are virtually silent. At Quick Fix 24/7, we know how much Croydon families value a peaceful home environment.
- Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or studies
- No distracting fan noise or creaking as the heater warms up
- Enjoy television, work, or sleep without background disturbance
A quieter home is a more comfortable one.
Safer and More Modern Technology
Safety for your family and peace of mind
Some older storage heaters in Croydon homes contain outdated parts, overheat, or even have asbestos in the insulation. Modern oil-filled radiators feature up-to-date safety technology, keeping your household secure.
- Fully insulated units and lower surface temperatures
- Tip-over protection shuts off if the heater is knocked
- Automatic thermal cut-outs prevent overheating
- Manufactured to today's strict safety standards
When you replace your old heaters with Quick Fix 24/7, you're prioritising both safety and comfort.
