How much does it cost to use an EMLO infrared oil heater?

The costs associated with operating an EMLO infrared oil heater are an important consideration for those looking for efficient and cost-effective heating solutions. In this article we will detail, how much does a heater cost per hour, how much does the oil heater consumeand what factors influence operating costs. You will also find out, whether oil heaters use a lot of electricity and which fuel will work best in this type of equipment.

EMLO oil heater - why is it worth it?

Oil-fired heaters, including infrared models from EMLO, is the perfect solution for heating large spacessuch as warehouses, workshops or event halls. Thanks to infrared radiation technology, these devices do not heat the air, but objects and people directly, which minimises heat loss.

They are gaining recognition among users for:

• Low operating costs.
• Eco-compatibility with biofuels.
• Quiet operation and no raising of dust or allergens.

How much does a heater cost per hour?

Cost per hour of heater operation depends on several factors:

1. Fuel consumption: On average, the EMLO 16 oil heater consumes approximately 0.38 litres of fuel per hour.
2. Type of fuel:
   • Diesel - average price is around PLN 6.00 per litre.
   • Biodiesel - costs slightly more, around PLN 6.50 per litre.

Example calculation:

• With a consumption of 0.38 l/h and a diesel price of PLN 6.00/l, the cost is:
  0.38 x 6.00 = PLN 2.28 per hour worked.
• In addition, the device requires a small amount of electricity (approx. 80 W), which increases the cost by approximately PLN 0.05 per hour.

Total cost of oil heater operation is therefore about PLN 2.33 per hour, which is very competitive compared to other heating systems.

How much does an oil heater consume?

Average fuel consumption of heaters EMLO depends on the operating conditions and settings of the unit. For model EMLO20:

• Fuel consumption is a maximum of 1.4 to 1.6 litres per hour. In continuous operation, this value decreases to approx. 0.5 l/h.
• With a full tank (70 litres), the unit can even operate for more than 100 hours without refuelling.

This makes infrared heaters an ideal choice for large spaces requiring efficient heating, such as workshops or warehouses, especially when looking for a heating solution that does not require constant supervision. Just as importantly, with the TERMOFOL Smart app, you can control the unit's operation and check its parameters from your smartphone or tablet from anywhere in the world.

Do oil heaters use a lot of electricity?

One of the biggest advantages of EMLO oil heaters is their low electricity consumption. These units only use electricity to operate the fan and control systems.

• The EMLO model consumes approximately 80 W, which corresponds to a cost of only PLN 0.05 per hour of work at an energy price of PLN 0.65/kWh.

This makes EMLO oil heaters energy efficient and do not place a significant burden on electricity bills.

Which fuel for an oil heater?

EMLO oil heaters are compatible with a variety of fuels to suit individual needs:

• Diesel: Most commonly used due to availability and affordability. No additional permits required
• Biodiesel: An eco-friendly alternative that reduces CO₂ emissions.
• Heating oil: a popular solution for industrial heating.
• Red diesel: Popular in industrial applications.

Choosing the right fuel affects the running costs and efficiency of the appliance. The answer to the question - Which fuel for the oil heater? is therefore not unambiguous. An important fact is that heaters can operate on different types of fuel - depending on availability, preference and economic calculation, each user can make his or her own choice of which fuel they consider best.
