UK households urged to place one item above radiators to cut energy bills

Installing shelves above radiators can reduce heating costs by £20 to £50 annually, experts say, by improving warm air circulation in UK homes.

  • Placing a shelf above a radiator can help circulate warm air around a room more effectively, improving heating efficiency and saving on energy bills.
  • Stephen Hankinson, an Energy Efficiency Expert at Electric Radiators Direct, advised leaving 10-15cm between the radiator and shelf and using heat-resistant materials like solid wood.
  • While the shelf tip can help save money, Rebecca Routledge, a money-saving expert, said combining multiple small steps like using draught excluders and only heating occupied rooms would yield greater savings.
