A journalist has reported significant success with a radiator booster fan, claiming it warms a room in half the usual time. The device, made by Speed Comfort, attaches to the underside of radiators using magnets and pushes heat into the room.
The user, who lives in a draughty 1900 tenement flat, said the fan made her bedroom noticeably warmer within 20 minutes, compared to the typical hour. She noted that the system includes a temperature sensor that activates the fan when the radiator is hot.
The fans are sold in sets, with three units costing £109.95. The user found assembly straightforward and praised the 10-year warranty. However, she noted the fan is slightly loud, though not disruptive if the heating is off overnight.
Additionally, the user found that placing a clothes airer in front of the radiator with the fan on dried laundry faster. She recommended the device for those looking to reduce energy bills and improve comfort, even if only for one room.
