Look at the wattage rating. The higher the wattage the more it costs to operate. Also look at the BTU rating if available or the EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) if available.Which takes less electricity? oil radiator or quartz heater? both portable..a simple answer will do..thanks?
This depends upon the ambient temperature of the room and which heats the room to the preferred temperature. It also depends on the surface area of the heater.





Now quartz heaters heat up much faster, however oil heaters have a larger surface area.
oil, the oil gets hot and radiates heat , the other heater works solely on electric
sorry - depends on the BTUs of each
Different heaters (same style) different answers.





Each heater will PROMINENTLY display the number of ';watts'; it uses. That's the answer - more watts = more electricity used. (also, more heat!)
oil radiator works off burning oil, right?
