General Information
The fuel consumption of an oil stove is measured in liters per hour and reflects the amount of fuel that the stove burns on average in one hour. An average stove with an output of 3 kW consumes between 0.225 and 0.280 liters per hour. This corresponds to an operating time of around 14 to 18 hours with a 4-liter tank.
A heating oil stove should be serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures that the stove works efficiently and safely. This involves checking and cleaning the burner, nozzles and heat exchanger.
Oil stoves are reliable and can generate heat quickly. They are often cheaper to buy than other heating systems and are particularly suitable for individual rooms or as supplementary heating.
An oil stove must be installed by a professional to ensure safety standards are met. The installation includes the installation of the stove, the connection to the chimney and the fuel supply.
There are different types of oil stoves, including convection stoves, radiant stoves and combined models. Convection stoves heat the air, radiant stoves give off direct heat and combination models offer both functions.
If you want to buy an oil stove, you will benefit from high energy efficiency. Modern oil stoves are often more efficient than older models, especially if they are serviced regularly. Efficiency also depends on correct operation and the quality of the heating oil.
