A simple radiator hack costing just 50p could help households save on heating bills this winter. The trick involves placing a reflective foil behind radiators to bounce heat back into the room, preventing it from escaping through walls.
Energy experts say the method can reduce heat loss by up to 20%, meaning homes warm up faster and stay warmer for longer. The foil, available at most DIY stores, is simply cut to size and placed behind the radiator.
With energy prices remaining high, the hack offers a cheap and effective way to improve efficiency. Many households have reported noticeable differences in room temperature after using the foil.
The tip is part of a wider push to help Britons cut energy costs as winter approaches. Other low-cost measures include bleeding radiators and using draft excluders.
