Noma Oil Heater Review

0 comments


I recently purchased a Noma oil heater to heat a room approximately 16 feet x 20 feet with a small en suite.  The model has three power settings of 700, 800 or 1500 watts and was purchased at Canadian Tire for $59.99 CDN.  The room I needed to heat had usual morning temperatures of between 12 – 15 degrees Celsius and would only warm up on its own marginally through the day (there is no other heating source).  This unit heats through a radiator style that heats oil that is in a completely sealed system and doesn’t need any addition of oil and plugs into the wall on a regular 120 volt outlet.  It is about 6 inches wide, 24 inches tall by 8 inches.

I was initially sceptical that the heater would be able to heat this room due to the usual cooler room temperature – however I have been impressed by the unit and am very happy with it so far (I’ve had it for 2 weeks).  I followed the instructions by turning the heater on high till it reached a comfortable temperature, then adjusting the thermostat to the room temperature I desired.  This took a bit of trialing because there is no temperature reading.  The power setting is adjusted through two switches that either turn on/off the 700 watt or 800 watt power (both switches ‘on’ is the 1500 watt setting) in combination with the dial thermostat.  A button for the “Comfortemp” is supposed to adjust the temperature to a ‘comfortable’ setting.  I am not clear on how it works, but it seems to do the job (I think it regulates the power on/off cycling better than the thermostat).  I currently have it set to the 700 watt setting and thermostat to the middle setting and the room is at a perfect comfortable temperature.  It is good to know that I still have plenty of power left in the heater if I wanted to increase the temperature.

I highly suggest this space heater for medium sized rooms.
