In winter, we spend 30% more on heating than in summer !
Normal, it is much colder.
And even if we know some tricks to warm up, we still have to put on some heating anyway.
The problem is that the radiators also heat the walls where they are hung.
As a result, the heat scatters and heats the room badly... And we have this unpleasant feeling of cold.
Fortunately, there is a simple trick to return 90% of the heat towards the center of the room instead of heating up the wall for nothing.
The trick is to place an aluminum foil behind the heater to increase its power . Watch:
1. Take a piece of cardboard the size of your radiator.
2. Cover one side of the cardboard with aluminum foil.
3. Staple the aluminum on the corners so that it stays in place.
4. Slide the foil-covered cardboard behind the heater.
There you go, with a simple sheet of aluminum behind the radiator, you have increased its power :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No more electricity bills that fly away in winter.
You will be warmer in your apartment, without turning up the heating.
And you save money, even during very cold weather!
It's still better than heating the walls for nothing, right?
This technique allows you to have a warmer room while saving money.
Don't forget to do this on every heater in the house to make it even more efficient.
If you don't have cardboard, you can simply use easy-to-remove tape to stick the aluminum to the wall behind the heater.
And if you don't have aluminum foil, you can also buy a heat reflector like this.
The aluminum foil reflects 95% of the heat that emanates from the back of your radiator back into the room.
Clearly, instead of heating your wall, you heat the room much better!
Céline Thomas, a reader of comment-economiser.fr, also confirmed that it works really well!
Here's what she told us:"At home, I have a very cold kitchen. I put some behind the radiator using a little tape and I'm amazed at the effectiveness! It's as if I had added a new radiator in the kitchen."
Be aware that this trick works for both electric radiators and cast iron radiators connected by a water circuit.
The only imperative is that there is a space of a few centimeters between the radiator and the aluminum foil.
This is important for your safety;
