Depends on the power rating of each device. A 1kw fan heater will cost the same to run as a 1kw oil filled rad. The fan heater I personally find much more effective though.

I have a fan heater in mine on a temperature setting, leave it on 16 degrees, kicks in id say every couple of hours or so for a few mins.

Works brillantly.
