Want to increase your radiator efficiency, without having to spend valuable £££?

For Under £30 your whole home could see a massive increase in radiator efficiency. Take those tin foil hats from the conspiracy theorists, and put them to much better use!

There is no official statistic to show how much this can save you, but it's obvious you will not have to have your radiator on for as long, or as high as it was!

This video  explains exactly how to do so:
