Would a 700w oil filled radiator heat up a room, 9ft x 8ft, sufficiently?

Yes, as this is a fairly small room, and as it's oil filled, it will stay hotter longer after you switch it off.Would a 700w oil filled radiator heat up a room, 9ft x 8ft, sufficiently?
Depends entirely on the outside temperature, the room insulation, window size, the aspect, the air movement and the inside temperature you require.


I doubt if 700 watts will be sufficient to achieve a comfortable daytime temperature in freezing weather. You can get a guide to heat input from the Wickes website. Go to the radiator size calculator. The results are in KW so would give you a reasonably accurate guide.Would a 700w oil filled radiator heat up a room, 9ft x 8ft, sufficiently?
It will do but they take a bit longer to heat up if you're wanting fairly quick heat I'd sugest a convection heater they start blowing hot air as soon as its turned on but they do dry the air a bit more
should do if you keep the door shut
