Frequently Asked Questions
Fan and infrared heaters can slightly reduce humidity and oxygen, causing dryness. Oil-filled radiators (OFR) do not burn oxygen and are the safest option for closed bedrooms. Using a small humidifier alongside any heater helps maintain comfortable air quality.
Oil-filled radiators are the safest for baby rooms because they operate silently, don't burn oxygen, and have no exposed heating elements or glowing parts. Keep the heater at a safe distance and use a room thermometer to maintain 20-22°C.
A 2000W heater running for 8 hours consumes 16 kWh. At ₹7 per unit, that's approximately ₹112 per day. Oil-filled heaters with thermostats cycle on and off, reducing actual consumption. Using a heater with a timer and proper insulation can cut costs by 30-40%.
