An oil heater, also known as an oil-filled heater, oil-filled radiator, or column heater, is a common form of convection heater used in domestic heating. Although filled with oil , it is electrically heated and does not involve burning any oil fuel ; the oil is used as a heat reservoir (buffer).
However, by 1979 oil was again plentiful and new local ordinances were commonly prohibiting the burning of wood and coal. In 1980 the company was still introducing new central-heating related products for burning and was reporting an increase in sales of those products. [ 8 ]

80–89% for oil-fired and; 45–60% for coal-fired heating. [26] Oil storage tanks, especially underground storage tanks, can also impact the environment.

A thermic fluid heater (TFH), [1] also known as a thermal oil heater, is a device used for indirect heat transfer through a thermic fluid. It heats the fluid to a desired temperature and then transfers that heat to various processes without any direct contact between the heating source and the product.
Stoves that readily convert to either oil or gas in addition to wood fuel have been manufactured in North America and Europe since the early 20th century, and are still manufactured. In some models, the oil or gas may fuel the stove through a pipe connection leading to a "pot burner" in the rear of the firewood compartment in the stove.
