Description
Fifteen Wave Fins.
More Surface Area, More Even Warmth.
The largest oil-filled radiator in the Hestio range — 15 wave-profile fins rather than straight ones, giving more heat-transfer surface in the same tower footprint · 2900 W total: a 2500 W oil-filled radiator for deep, silent, lasting warmth plus a 400 W PTC fan to take the chill off while the oil comes up to temperature · three heat settings at 1000 W, 1500 W and 2500 W · thermostatic control · IS 302-2-30 certified with overheat protection and a tip-over switch · cool-touch exterior, recessed carry handle and retractable wheels · made in India · 2 year warranty
⚡ Where the 2900 watts actually comes from
Mild evening, one room
Everyday winter setting
Full radiator output
PTC fan boost on top
The headline 2900 W is the radiator at full output plus the PTC fan running together. Most of the winter you will use 1000 or 1500 W — and running at 1000 W costs well under half of what 2500 W does, which matters when a heater runs several hours a night for two months.
Wave
finswhy the profile is shaped that way
The fins on an oil-filled radiator are where the heat actually leaves the appliance, so their shape and number decide how well it works. Heated oil circulates through them and warms the metal; the metal warms the air touching it, and that warm air rises and pulls cool air up from the floor — the convection current that gradually brings a whole room to temperature. More fin surface means more air in contact with warm metal at any moment. A wave profile curves the fin rather than running it flat, which increases the surface area within the same overall width, and this model carries fifteen of them — the most in the Hestio range. In practice that means the radiator can move the same heat with the metal running slightly cooler, which is both more comfortable to be near and safer to touch. It also spreads the warmth more evenly across the width of the unit rather than concentrating it.
The 400 W PTC fan — the answer to an OFR's one weakness
Oil-filled radiators are slow to start, and that is the only real complaint people have about them: fifteen to twenty minutes before a room feels different, because the oil has to come up to temperature first. The PTC fan exists precisely to cover that gap. PTC stands for positive temperature coefficient — a ceramic element that self-regulates, drawing less power as it gets hotter, so it cannot run away and overheat the way a bare wire element can. Switch it on with the radiator and warm air reaches you within a minute or two. Then switch the fan off and let the radiator hold the room silently for the rest of the evening. That is how to use this heater well: fan on for the first ten minutes, fan off after. Quick warmth when you walk into a cold room, silence when you want to sleep — neither type manages both on its own.
IS 302-2-30 — worth insisting on at this wattage
IS 302-2-30 is the Indian standard covering room heaters, and certification to it means the product has been tested rather than simply asserted to be safe. On a 2900 W appliance that runs unattended for hours in a bedroom, that testing covers exactly the things that matter: the temperature the casing reaches, insulation and earthing, the behaviour of the thermostat and cut-outs, and the construction of the cord and terminals. Plenty of heaters sold cheaply through the winter season carry no such certification. This model also has overheat protection, which cuts power if the unit gets hotter than it should, and a tip-over switch that shuts it off if it is knocked over. Havells describe the exterior as cool-touch: the outer surfaces stay far cooler than a halogen or blower heater, though the fins do still get warm, so treat it as safer rather than cold.
🎯 Suited to
77.5 cm long, so it needs a clear stretch of wall or floor. For a smaller room, the 13-fin straight-fin Hestio costs less and does the same job in a shorter body — and for quick heat at a desk, a halogen heater costs a fraction. Ask us and we will show you all three.
Set a level and the thermostat cycles the element to hold it rather than running flat out — which is where the electricity saving comes from.
Wheels fold away for storage and add stability in place. On an 11.5 kg unit that moves room to room, worth having.
The handle sits flush into the body rather than protruding, so it does not catch on doorways or furniture when you move it.
Havells specify oil with thermo-oxidative stability, which resists breaking down into sludge over years of heating cycles. Sealed in — it never needs refilling.

Warranty as per Havells terms and conditions — 2 year warranty as stated in supplier material. The scope of cover, coverage of the heating element, PTC fan, thermostat, safety switches, control panel, oil-filled radiator body, cord, plug and accessories, parts and labour, exclusions, product registration and the service process are subject to Havells brand policy and the final invoice or warranty documentation. Damage arising from misuse, covering the appliance, use for drying clothing, operation near combustible materials, connection to an inadequate or unearthed electrical supply or through unsuitable extension boards, operation while not upright, liquid ingress or unauthorised servicing is commonly excluded. Required socket rating is not stated in supplier material; at a total rated output of 2900 W on a 230 V supply the current draw is approximately 12.6 A, which exceeds the rating of standard 6A domestic sockets, and a 16A socket on an adequately rated and properly earthed circuit should be confirmed as available before purchase. Some images on this listing appear to depict a 9-fin 2400 W Hestio model rather than the 15-fin GHROFCTK290 at 2900 W described here; the model designation on the product carton and invoice should be treated as definitive and confirmed at delivery. Recommended room size, thermostat temperature range and whether the control sets an absolute temperature or a relative level, timer, remote control, PTC fan noise level, cord length and box contents are not stated in supplier material and should be confirmed before purchase. Rated outputs of 2900 W total, 2500 W radiator and 400 W PTC fan, the three heat settings, fin count and profile, certification to IS 302-2-30, dimensions and weight are manufacturer specifications; actual warm-up time, perceived warmth, area heated, heat retention after switch-off and running cost vary with room size, ceiling height, insulation, draughts, outdoor temperature, occupancy, selected setting, thermostat position, duration of use, supply voltage and the applicable electricity tariff slab. Statements about relative running cost between settings describe the proportional difference in rated power draw and are not a guarantee of any particular bill. Certification and the standard reference are as stated in supplier material and should be verified on the product marking. Descriptions of the exterior as cool-touch and of operation as whisper-quiet are the manufacturer's own product descriptions: the radiator fins become warm in use, and the PTC fan produces noise when running even though the radiator alone does not. Explanations of oil-filled radiator operation, fin surface area and profile, PTC element behaviour and heater type comparisons provided here are general information to aid understanding and are not manufacturer specifications. This product is a household appliance and not a medical device; no health, respiratory, humidity or air-quality outcome is claimed or implied, and heating any room reduces its relative humidity regardless of heater type. The appliance must be kept upright at all times, must never be covered or used to dry clothing, must be kept clear of curtains, bedding, upholstery, paper and furniture with free air circulation on all sides, must be placed level on a firm floor, and must be connected to a properly earthed socket of adequate rating and not through light-duty extension boards, multi-way adaptors or external timers or automatic switching devices. The oil circuit is sealed and must never be opened, drained, refilled or repaired; the appliance must be taken out of service if any fin is damaged or leaking. It must not be used in bathrooms, near water or with wet hands. It must not be left operating unattended in rooms with young children, and must be unplugged and allowed to cool before being moved, cleaned or stored. Discontinue use and seek service if the cord or plug is damaged, if the appliance trips the electrical supply, if burning odour or oil leakage is observed, or if the tip-over switch fails to cut power when the appliance is tilted.
