Looking for an oil radiator that turns itself off after certain number of hours. Any ideas?

I rent a house to sharers and want to provide everyone with an oil filled radiator in their bedroom (cheaper than them putting on boiler which heats up the whole house when they only want a warm bedroom).





I am a bit worried, however, that they might leave it on by mistake for hours as I have done this numerous times in the past. Do any of you know of an oil filled radiator on the market that automatically turns itself off after a certain number of hours (i.e. 6 or 12 hours or something like that)?Looking for an oil radiator that turns itself off after certain number of hours.

Why not turn off all the other radiators and leave the bedroom ones on,then you can control this with the central heating timer?Looking for an oil radiator that turns itself off after certain number of hours. Any ideas?
There are a number of Delonghi oil filled radiators with built in timers, some are available at Argos among other places, including the Dragon, the Rapido and the Stretto. They can come with mechanical or digital timers too.
Buy a wall switch timer.
I have DeLongi oil radiator with kind of switch by clock on the side. You can do pattern as central heating does: 2 hours in the morning and 5 hours at evening (at least my central heating set this way). I think lots of them (radiators) have that future. it just doesn't go as cheapest option
you'll have to purchase heavy duty timers to plug the heaters into. they have pins or pegs that you push in or pull out that tells the device that's plugged into it when to turn on and then when to turn off. you set them and then tell your tenants not to touch them without your knowledge. we have a few for home air conditioners REMEMBER HEAVY DUTY TIMERS. $10.00/$15.00 each. buy one till you figure out what your doing.


get the kind that have many plugs or pins,


the more plugs or pins the more often you can turn the device on and off.


remember to ask them not to change things without your knowledge.


good luck to ya
i think your best solution rather than trust them to turn off things is to get them their own metres and they have to use a card for their own use.... if they dont put card in they dont get electricity..... it costs to have these installed but worth it in the long run.





But you can buy thermostatically controlled oil filled heaters with a timer look in the on line catalogues.... but then they can over ride the switches...............
fit a timer on the socket outlet ..available every where

You could have an electrician mount it a gang box and hard wire it to the heater.





However, the labor and materials might approach the cost of the heater itself.
