TOSAI stove 241 A

Product Information

These heaters are also ideal for Tenants, as they are portable appliances and require no expensive installation or landlord permission, simply unplug them and take them with you to your next property, just the same as you would with any portable Fan or Convector heater. In comparison, I’ve used gas bottle Calor heaters in the same building twenty years ago and had very noticeable amounts of condensation, so (purely in my own opinion & my experience) if these heaters do produce moisture, they don’t produce it in the same volumes as traditional Calor heaters. for Kero isn’t the cheapest but it still isn’t too bad and you are still set to save quite a bit on your heating bill. Even at 64p a litre, 6.4p per KW/H for heat during the Day as you need it, is much cheaper than Electricity on a standard rate tariff, and more than 50% cheaper than Electricity on a peak time Economy 7 tariff, and if you can get the Kero for 52p, even better as that will be around 5.2p kw/h.

Home Heating using paraffin Inverter heaters will be of interest to those in rural or remote locations who don’t have access to mains gas, or households who currently use oil fired or LPG based heating systems, but the biggest savings by switching over to heating a home with a paraffin inverter heater will be to those using Economy 7 storage heating, Electric Central Heating or any form of electric heating appliances for their main heating, and this is where 30% – 70% savings can easily be made. There are a couple of possibilities here. First of all it could simply be stale or contaminated fuel, and just like Diesel, Kerosene can be affected by bacteria growth in the fuel when stored for extended periods or in less than ideal conditions. Has the fuel that you are using currently been stored in the machine fuel tank over the summer?, Kerosene (Heating Oil) whether in the home or retail environment should be stored in an airtight container out of direct heat or sunlight, equally it could have been stored for several months in tanks at the Vendor in less than ideal conditions and I, myself, have had fuel from yards in the past which has been in tanks which previously were used for (and so contaminated with) small quantities of red diesel or other fuels which gave rise to running issues, which were corrected when a new batch of fuel was used. So my first piece of advice would be to start with the basics and try a new batch of fuel, ideally from another vendor if possible. These filters are excellent at filtering out water and dirt, but they won’t help at all in cases of stale or fuel which has been contaminated by other fuels or bacteria growth. Requires 240v supply to power electronic ignition, thermostatic controls & electronic fan which blows out the heat. I originally bought Paraffin from a local allotment society for 70p a litre. I get 10kw worth of heat from each litre burned which brings down the price for heating to 7p per KW/H. (I now pay 5.3p per KW using standard home heating oil kerosene @ 53p a litre but i’ll get to that later)

Frequently Asked Questions

The Inverter 5086 is the same as the Inverter 5096. The name has been updated for 2020, the product is identical otherwise. My concern, is that given the room size and poor insulation, that a 3kw or 3.2kw won’t give out enough heat, so you won’t be much further forward than you are at the moment with your 2.2kw oil filled radiator, and essentially on the coldest days you’ll be blasting out the heater on its 3.2kw output but still not really feel fully comfortable room temperature wise. In comparison, a 4kw heater should heat the room, then adjust its output once the temperature has been reached, saving fuel, whilst the 3.2kw continues to burn at its full power, using lots of fuel and you are still sat there feeling the cold. The good thing with buying a bigger heater than you (think) you need, is that if it gets too hot then you can always turn it down, whilst if the 3.2kw on full power isn’t enough, then you can’t turn it up!, so you’ll end up having to buy a second 3kw inverter heater, which will combine to cost more than if you’d just bought the 4kw in the first place. Digitally Thermostatically controlled, which switches to a paraffin saving eco mode (800w) when the room reaches the selected temperature. In Eco Mode the heater will run for an amazing 45 – 48 hours on one fill of fuel.

Fan assisted for rapid room warm up (Electric Fan requires 22 watts of Electricity, about the same as an energy saving light bulb) Was the Kerosene new fuel, or was it aged fuel drained from an Heating Oil tank?. I’ve never had a problem with either of my heaters in relation to a smell, apart from perhaps one minute either side of switching the heater on and off, where it would give out the Jet Fuel type smell. Like I said before, Kerosene is from the same family as Jet-A1 fuel, hence the very similar smell when they combust, it seems strange that you are getting the smell when its running though, i’ve never experienced that personally ( nor have any of my Visitors, unless they are just too polite to say anything!). I only get the smell during the start up and shut down procedure. The Electronic versions, being fan based have a greater degree of control and temperature accuracy, including a Digital Electronic Thermostat which modulates the heat from the burner, so the closer the heater gets to reaching the desired room temperature, the burner output is reduced automatically. These fires incorporate an electronic thermostat to control room temperature, also allowing a timer to be set so the fire will turn on at a desired time. You will void the warranty on a brand new heater by doing so however as it’s outside of the manufacturers recommended fuel, and like everything in life, you do so at your own risk.I have no connection with the European Source i’m recommending whatsoever, other than being a satisfied customer of theirs, i’m purely offering this link out of goodwill so you too can save some money off the high prices which we are currently being charged for paraffin inverter heaters here in the UK. So these error codes are something that can be avoided by following the instructions provided with the machine.

The electricity companies know all about the limited effectiveness of storage heaters and because of these limitations know that there is a very real possibility that the majority of their E7 customers will require some form of top up heating at some point during the evening especially during the coldest mid winter months, at the times when the most expensive ‘peak rate’ periods will apply, and so are laughing all of the way to the bank. Automatic shut-off is activated when the heater is bumped into, or in the event of a tip-over (earthquake safety device). SAFETY DEVICE If you are looking for a mobile heating solution, there are 3 options available to you; an electric heater, a mobile gas heater, or a paraffin heater. You will find that a Zibro Paraffin Heater compares very favourably to them all due to economy, safety & comfort. What’s more, there is a 4 year guarantee with every product.Poor Fuel Quality: Using domestic home oil kerosene will cause issues. There might be high levels of water in it, or excessively high levels of plastic. These can cause combustion issues caused by clogs. This means, that when the Economy 7 storage heaters inevitably run out of heat, by around late afternoon or early evening, or the weather turns unexpectedly chilly some other form of ‘top up’ heating is required which is often also electrically powered, such as a convector heater, panel heater, fan heater or oil filled radiator.
