Heaters for sale

Paraffin heaters are far more economical to run. They are usually slightly more costly upfront, but over a year they cost considerably less than an electric fan heater or bar heater to operate.

Our Inverter Heater also has smart functions. It can maintain a specific temperature which is not only pleasant, but also saves fuel. This prevents overheating too. It also has a carbon monoxide alarm, child safety lock and a range of other benefits that don’t come with a standard electric heater.

It depends on how you define an ‘electric heater’. Most people think of say, bar heaters as electric heaters. We’d follow this definition too – the power and heat comes directly from the electricity. In that sense, we don’t stock electric heaters. However, some of our heaters require (minimal) electricity to operate. Read on to see how it all works. 

Wick Heaters

Our Wick heaters, like the Glow Wick 290 and The Glow Wick 240 require no power to operate – not even batteries! The wick can be lit directly and the only continual cost in using these is the fuel. 

Fan-assist Heaters

The Inverter heater is a fan-assist heater. It requires mains power, however they are not electrical heaters. 

They use mains power to start the fan, for their internal thermometer and well, that’s about it. At the time of writing, the inverter uses less than €0.04 per hour in electricity (As of September 2022). A similarly powered electric heater would cost €0.68 an hour. Over 8 hours that works out at €5.44 in electricity alone.

Airrex Heaters / Infrared Heaters

Our Airrex Heaters are similar to fan-assist heaters. They can’t operate without a mains power connection, however this power is used to turn the kerosene into infrared heat. This is considerably more cost effective than a bar heater or similar product. 

Infrared heaters also don’t heat up space, they heat up surfaces. This in itself makes them very cost effective to run and particularly in partial exposed or draughty areas. 

Industrial Heaters

Industrial heaters will also use a mains power connection for combustion. These can’t function without the mains power, but the cost of electricity used is minimal. The fuel inside is the main cost with operating these units. 

Paraffin Heaters

In any heater that is classified as a paraffin heater, e.g. The Glow Wick series or Inverter heaters, you should only use top quality, liquid combustibles with the aromatics removed, which are free from impurities in our heaters. They should have max 1% of aromatics and a flash point above 61°. 

Put simply, we recommend using Tozane in these heaters.

Other Heaters

For heaters like the Airrex range, camping stove and Industrial heaters, a wider range of fuels can be used. For the most accurate fuel details, read their individual product pages. 

Paraffin Heaters

These heaters use ROLF fuel. ROLF stands for ‘Reduce Odour Liquid Fuel’. While they are considerably less odourous than older paraffin fuels (like say, the ones that your granny would have used), but they do carry an odour. Most people consider this to be a minor odour, but some people are more susceptible to it than others. We recommend that you visit our store to see/smell a working heater for yourself before you purchase if you are unsure about this.

Other Heaters

The other heaters should not have any smell. The Ronan heating and Airrex range all all infrared heaters, so there is no inherent smell from infrared heating. The camping stove and Industrial heater should be like the paraffin heaters above, however if you substitute a different, suitable fuel, it may carry that odour. 

Combustion Heaters

All fuel burning appliances can produce nitrogen dioxide. This can irritate eyes or noses and be a trigger for asthmatics.

In the same way that fans are not recommended to be used by people with Asthma, these heaters should not be used for the same reason. They can raise dust etc and trigger asthma. As a result, we do not recommend these heaters for asthmatics.

Infrared Heaters

Infrared heaters are, at last check, are highly recommended for heating homes where asthmatic people reside. They don’t heat the air (or move it) so they don’t raise any dust particles etc. 

The first time that you use a wick heater, it’s very important that you allow the wick to soak in paraffin. Doing so is simple.

The wick is already installed in your heater. You just need to fill your oil tank and put it into the heater. The oil will slowly flow through the mechanism and soak the wick.

This can take up to 6-7 hours.

To avoid burning out the wick prematurely, you should not use your heater during this time. If you allow the wick to soak and keep it wet with the correct fuel, your wick should last approx 2 years.

We don’t have a video for all our previous heaters, however below you can find guides on how to change the wick on a Glow Wick 240 and a Glow Wick 290. We’ve even subtitled them, to make it even more accessible!

If you have a different wick heater, these will not be exact guides, however, they may point you in the right direction. 

Most of our heaters have anti-topple features to prevent accidents. Some have in built alarms also.

However, our Wick Heaters can pose a risk of burning as they are hot to the touch. The Inverter heater is our safest option as it has a cool casing, a child-lock and a carbon monoxide alarm too. 

We do not recommend using a heater in an unvented area. Carbon Monoxide is created in minuscule amounts by these heaters as they burn fuel. This generally isn’t an issue for large, able bodied people – and especially if the room is vented. However for very young children, it is not recommended that fuel burning heaters of any sort are used in their room – and again, especially if this room is unvented.

The long-and-short of it is, no heater is really designed to be used by children. These heaters can be used in their presence, while supervised and if the risks associated with them are fully understood. 

Paraffin Heaters

If you have used the wrong fuel in your paraffin heater, it is not returnable. C1 Grade Paraffin is the only acceptable oil for all our paraffin heaters. We strongly recommend that you use Tozane.

As stated on our Fuel Products Page, our FAQ page and a page specifically written about using kerosene in a paraffin heater, problems resulting from using the wrong fuel are not covered by our guarantee. We also outline what types of fuel can be used in these heaters in these guides, as well as our blog post on fuels.

Other Heaters

For heaters like the Industrial heater, these will run on a variety of fuels – however the fuels should not mix. If you’ve put in a fuel that you should not have, you can burn it off (if safe to do so), or drain the unit and clean it out fully. We do not recommend that you perform this tasks yourself if you have no experience in doing so. 

Click here to read out full explanation on why you cannot use kerosene in a paraffin heater. 

Paraffin is a distilled version on Kerosene. It’s had the impurities and plastics taken out, meaning that it’s made for indoor use and considerably easier on the lungs. It produces no ‘soot’ unlike it’s Kerosene counterparts, so you won’t notice any ‘blackening’ or Tar build up on your paraffin heater. These build ups can also lead to problems with the Heater turning on or off. So, you can see why we only supply Tozane Fuel. 

Kerosene is not safe to be breathed in and it will damage your machine.

So while there are cheaper oils and fuels available for Oil Heaters in Ireland, none are as safe for human inhalation or lifespan of the heater than Tozane. 

Yes, all our heaters are available to be shipped nationwide.

Tozane, however, may only be available in minimum quantities of 10 drums outside of Dublin and its surrounding counties.

Why is this? The liquid paraffin is no longer accepted by any courier company in Ireland. As such, it’s then delivered by a haulier company. They charge approx €80* for a pallet delivery. As the delivery charge is so high, it makes no sense to deliver only 2 drums with an €80 delivery fee. To make it financially feasible, we offer it in drums of ten. Customers can order this and split the cost with friends, family, etc.
