Reduce Bills by £100
Did you know that dust trapped in your convector radiator vanes could be causing your energy bills to skyrocket? The dust prevents heat from escaping smoothly, forcing your device to work harder to warm the room. But fear not, there's a simple solution that could save you over £100 a year. Introducing the radiator duster.
Affordable and Effective
You don't have to break the bank to get your hands on a radiator duster. B&M is selling them for just £3, while Dunelm and Lakeland offer them for £7 and £10 respectively. With such a small investment, you can make a big impact on your energy bills.
Expert Advice
Nicholas Auckland, a heating expert from Trade Radiators, explains the potential savings: "Assuming a conservative estimate of an 8% improvement in energy efficiency due to cleaning the radiator fins, the savings can range from £65 to £112 per year." The actual savings will depend on factors such as the level of dust and the type of radiators in your home.
More Ways to Save
While the radiator duster is a great start, there are other ways to save money on your heating bills. Consider investing in radiator fans, which can redirect rising heat and keep you warmer without turning up the thermostat. You can find these gadgets for as little as £15 on Amazon or OnBuy.com.
Additionally, installing insulation in your home can prevent heat from escaping and save you hundreds of pounds a year. B&Q and Wickes offer affordable insulation options that are easy to install.
Don't forget to lay down draught excluders and avoid placing furniture in front of radiators to maximize their efficiency. By implementing these simple tips, you can keep your home warm and cozy without breaking the bank.
