How to Save Heat Without Spending A Fortune on Glazing

If you’re looking for a quick fix for a cold room without having to spend a ton of money then one thing you could consider is the use of radiator panels. A lot of houses lose heat out from the walls and ceilings (as well as the windows) simply because the flow of heat from the radiators is badly thought out. Simply by fixing this small problem most houses and larger properties could save more than 20% of their heating costs every year.

This can be done by reflecting heat from radiators back into the room rather than wasting it. The new Heatkeeper raditator panels, which promise a 20% reduction in heating costs, have been accredited via the energy regulator Ofgem and are a worthwhile investment for any home. The Heatkeeper panels are cost-effective, east to install PVC metallised sheets that you insert inserted behind radiators and then secure through the use of strong self-adhesive tape. Their patented tooth-saw design causes special convection currents, which will improve the circulation of warm air in the room and will help to prevent heat loss through the walls and the ceilings. In turn, infrared heat will also be reflected back to the radiator so that water then returns to the boiler even hotter, leading to a more efficient boiler usage and significantly lower fuel costs. A pack of five will cost you £24.50.
