How to Increase the Power of Your Radiator with Aluminum Foil.
Do you want to save on your heating consumption?
There is a very simple trick to increase its efficiency: a small aluminum foil!
In winter, we use 20 to 30% more heating than our daily needs.
This is because the heat is not centralized and spreads where it shouldn't be: on the walls, the curtains or the ceiling ...
And to think that a simple aluminum foil, in some cases, could help you save ...
How to do
The aluminum foil, placed behind the radiator, will repel the heat.

Not for all accommodations
